Top 4 quarterback prospects to be featured on 'Gruden's QB Camp'

Jon Gruden will return for an eighth edition of his ESPN pre-draft staple "Gruden's QB Camp," and will feature four of the most-intriguing quarterback prospects.

Clemson's Deshaun Watson, North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky, Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer, and Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes will headline the class that will join Gruden in Orlando over the coming weeks to go over film, practice on the field, and showcase their personalities.

Gruden says he's been impressed with what he has seen early from the crop of pass throwers, particularly Watson.

"There's some unknowns this year, but this class starts with Deshaun Watson," said Gruden via ESPN Media Zone. "His body of work is as impressive as any quarterback we've had come through QB Camp. I got the chance to see him live and I think he has a ton of ability.

"There are some underclassmen coming out who have questions that need to be answered. That's why this process is exciting. But three or four years from now, I expect people will be saying this is a pretty good quarterback class."

Also joining the top four prospects will be Miami's Brad Kaaya, Pitt's Nathan Peterman, and Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs for individual sessions with Gruden. A few of the most notable omissions from the camp are Cal's Davis Webb, Virginia Tech's Jerod Evans, and Ole Miss' Chad Kelly, who was also not invited to the combine due to his troubled off-field history.

Episodes of "Gruden's QB Camp" will begin airing April 11.
