Nebraska football has a special weapon in quarterback Adrian Martinez. While the odds are longer than some, he appears to be a real contender for the Heisman contender. He's also in line to compete for the best quarterback title in the entire Big 10. Now yet another national analyst has named the QB, who is only a true sophomore as one of the best quarterbacks in the entire country.

Adrian Martinez: Human highlight reel
Despite being just a true freshman a year ago, the Nebraska football quarterback had some truly memorable plays in his first season in Lincoln. A second year in Scott Frost's offense would seem to only improve his odds of moving into the spotlight.
