Pro Football Focus ranked the SEC starting quarterbacks 1-14 after the first three weeks of the 2020 SEC football season.
Kentucky senior quarterback Terry Wilson, who returned from a torn patellar tendon he suffered last season, is inside the top ten at No. 9 on the list.
“Not much has changed with Wilson since we last saw him before his injury in 2018. He had the second-worst grade under pressure in the FBS that year and is struggling again when under duress in 2020, as he has the second-worst grade in the SEC. Wilson has been a bit more conservative on a throw-for-throw basis — perhaps a little too much. His 6.3 average depth of target is the second-lowest in the SEC, and that lack of aggressiveness has played a part in the Wildcats generating positive EPA on 36% of their pass plays — the worst in the conference. Wilson is holding onto the ball way too long at times and settling for a checkdown. He had shown off his mobility on the ground, though, especially in Week 6 against Ole Miss when he busted off five carries of 10-plus yards on 20 attempts.”
