George Whitfield has become a notable name in recent years, mostly due to his work with quarterbacks like Cam Newton and Donovan McNabb. Whitfield has been coaching up one quarterback recently for the 2016 Draft, and Whitfield has extreme praise when talking about that quarterback's throwing abilities.

That quarterback wasn't Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, or Paxton Lynch. Instead, it was former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones.
Just talked to QB guru George Whitfield on Cardale Jones: "I haven't seen anything like his arm, and I've been around a lot of quarterbacks"

Jones definitely has an NFL-ready arm, but as we saw at Ohio State this year, he still has plenty of developing to do when it comes to the rest of his game. He won't be a first round pick, but if a team — one that is willing to take their time and be patient — gets their hands on Jones and is able to develop him, then he could definitely become a good NFL quarterback.
