Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at North Carolina Tar Heels (12:30 p.m. ET, ACC Network/WatchESPN)

The player to keep a very close eye on this Saturday is North Carolina redshirt junior Mitch Trubisky. The UNC quarterback is currently the top-ranked quarterback for the 2017 NFL Draft, per CBS Sports. He’s currently eighth-overall, and the Mentor, OH native has earned that with his play this season for the Tar Heels. He completed 71.2 percent of his passes for 2,378 yards with 18 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

In five of his past six games, Trubisky has thrown for no less than 299 yards in a game, with his season-high being 453 yards and five touchdowns against Pittsburgh. One fan base of the NFL, the Chicago Bears, should be really watching Trubisky, as Eddie Brown of the San Diego Union-Tribune has him going third overall to Chicago.

If you want your team to wait on drafting a running back on Day 3 of the draft, take note of UNC junior running back Elijah Hood, the 10th-overall running back in the draft rankings. The 6-0 Hood has 96 carries for 476 yards and five touchdowns. Last season against Georgia Tech, he rushed for 60 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns.

Georgia Tech has five players on the CBS Draft Rankings (none projected to be selected), but the player for all NFL fans to watch in this game is Trubisky.
