4. Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee

Spoiler alert: Joshua Dobbs is the only quarterback who made the list.

When it is all said and done, Dobbs could end up winning a Heisman in 2016. In the process, he could end up leading the Volunteers to a national championship. Tennessee is that talented this season, and so is Dobbs.

In 2015, he racked up 2,291 passing yards and 15 touchdowns. He also had 671 rushing yards and 11 more TDs on the ground. Yes, he 100 percent has dual-threat abilities — it’s all in the stats.

Time will tell if the Volunteers are worth the hype. Make no mistake about it, though, Dobbs is one to watch out for all season long.

For the record, the QB had 83 passing yards and 136 rushing yards against the Gators in 2015. In 2016, Dobbs & Co. get the Gators at home. To make matters even worse, the next player on this list is also a Volunteer.
