Darian Mensah Is PFF's Highest-Graded QB Through Week 4

Ahead of Week 5, Miami Hurricanes star-studded signal-caller Darian Mensah has been named among the top highest-graded quarterbacks in the country according to Pro Football Focus.

Through four games, PFF gave Mensah a 94.1 grade. He ranks ahead of Julian Saying (92.5), Anthony Colandrea (92.4), and Keelon Russell (91.9).



This season, Mensah has been putting up video game numbers with a completion percentage of 88.7%. In four contests, he has completed 94 of his 106 passing attempts for 1,211 passing yards and 14 touchdowns. He has yet to turn the ball over. His best outing was against Stanford, where he completed 27 of his 30 passes for 401 yards and five scores.

It always seems like Mensah makes the right read at the right time. His elite ball placement and his smart decision making separates him from the rest. I don't care who you're playing against, recording a completion percentage of 88.7% is really impressive.

According to CBS Sports, Mensah is already making an early case for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Head coach Mario Cristobal has another great quarterback on his hands after coaching former No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward and last year's signal-caller Carson Beck. Mensah could potentially be the next No. 1 overall pick in the draft if he keeps it up.

The Hurricanes have played a lot of tune-up games, and he will get his first test against a solid Clemson Tigers defense when the Hurricanes travel to Clemson this Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
