    USC quarterback Jayden Maiava boasts first-round size and arm talent, but can he overcome decision-making woes to elevate his 2026 NFL Draft stock? Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez break down Maiava’s 6’4”, 230-pound frame, natural pocket presence, and mobility reminiscent of Jackson Dart.

However, questions loom about Maiava’s performance in chaotic situations, turnover issues against top defenses like Notre Dame and TCU, and whether he can consistently progress past his first read. The hosts debate mental toughness, poise under pressure, and the impact of USC’s offensive system. Is Maiava’s NFL ceiling worth the risk, or will his decision-making flaws keep him a Day 2 NFL Draft pick? Find out what it’ll take for him to crack the first-round quarterback conversation.
