Two quarterbacks in particular have forced every franchise in the league to take notice of them:- Malik Willis and Matt Corral. These two stars are most likely going to be the first two draft picks in 2022.

Fans cannot get enough of these two young talents. Not only have they emerged and set the gridiron on fire, but established themselves as forces to be reckoned with. They are so prepared to make it in the big leagues that many NFL teams are already considering bringing these generational talents on board.
However, the recent clash between Ole Miss Rebels and Liberty Flames displayed which quarterback is superior. While they aren’t on the level of a Tom Brady-Drew Brees or Brady-Eli Manning rivalry, there’s still a ton of bad blood. On this occasion, Matt Corral outperformed Malik Willis.
