Toledo's 2021 season stalled because of inconsistent quarterback play. Carter Bradley was ineffective as a starter and Dequan Finn, while productive when he was on the field, didn't get enough snaps to overcome the sluggish offense. Once Finn became the starter, however, the offense took a major step forward. Part of the boost came from running back Bryant Koback, who's now on the Minnesota Vikings. But Finn went a long way in proving himself.He completed 57.6 percent of his passes for 2,067 yards and 18 touchdowns, rushing for an additional 501 yards and nine TDs. Most impressive was Finn's lack of interceptions, as he only threw two, the fewest of any quarterback who started at least seven games last season. Finn was at his best late in the year, with playing time becoming a comfort zone. He did lose a security blanket in wide receiver Matt Landers, who transferred to Arkansas. But the Rockets are happy with their group of pass-catchers, led by Devin Maddox and Jerjuan Newton. - Toledo Blade
