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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
