After watching the 2017 Reese's Senior Bowl, it's probably pretty clear that California quarterback Davis Webb is the only quarterback worth taking a chance on in the first round of drafts. Davis Webb was the Senior Bowl MVP and threw for 165 yards as well as a touchdown. This performance should prove that he's the best quarterback in the draft, but if not, here's a rundown of his young career:

He started his football career at Keller High School in Keller, Texas, and while his team didn't perform well, his performance sure stood out. Webb got his first chance to start as first string his Junior year in high school, and he took it on really well. He threw for 22 touchdowns with only nine interceptions. He also had one rushing touchdown.

Webb transferred high schools his Senior year and began to play on another level. He threw for 2,722 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions. He also ran for 572 yards with 12 touchdowns.

After his Senior, he accepted a scholarship to play at Texas Tech University where he quickly took the spotlight. In his first year there he threw 20 touchdowns and helped them go to a Bowl victory.

He played pretty solid his Sophomore year but suffered an injury in the middle season. He got hurt again his Junior year and was replaced by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

In his Senior year, he transferred to California Berkeley where he had his best statistic year yet. Webb threw for 4,295 yards and 37 touchdowns. While his team didn't play well, he certainly did.

As mentioned before he was the star of the Senior Bowl. Webb was the first quarterback to throw a touchdown in the game, and when he came in, he quickly got the South team's offense going. When he was replaced, the offense didn't perform as well.

Webb is set to enter the draft this season. With all of these great performances, it should be clear that there is no other quarterback in this draft class who is as good as this guy.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
