ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski has some interesting takes on the quarterbacks in the 2014 NFL Draft class, with his latest rankings sure to raise a few eyebrows. Jaworski gave his updated quarterback rankings on Friday morning, with LSU's Zach Mettenberger coming in the No. 2 spot behind Blake Bortles of UCF.

Mettenberger, who suffered a torn ACL that brought his collegiate career to an end, is followed by Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M and Fresno State's Derek Carr.

When Jaworski was explaining his decision to place Mettenberger in the No. 2 ranking, he said, "When you watch him on tape, this guy has an NFL skill set."

Jaworksi then said that Mettenberger is "very similar" to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.

Mettenberger is a larger quarterback who has a big, live arm and the ability to stand tall in the pocket, so the comparison of his and Flacco's physical traits may not be that far off base.
