Athlon Sports: WR unit ranked among best in nationCharlie Brewer the Heisman Candidate Baylor set for big upset in 2018Brewer set for breakout season | Mims a top 10 WR nationally | Rhule ranked against national coaches

The inclusion of Baylor sophomore quarterback high on lists on Athlon Sports continued in the latest piece by Steven Lassan. This time Lassan ranked the top 10 quarterbacks in the conference and noted Brewer as the No. 2 quarterback in the conference just behind West Virginia's Will Grier.

Here is what Lassan had to say about Brewer and why he had him second on the list:

2. Charlie Brewer, Baylor

Baylor should show significant improvement in coach Matt Rhule’s second year. Brewer is one of the main reasons for optimism in Waco, as the Texas native appears poised to build off a promising 2017 season. As a true freshman, Brewer completed 68.1 percent of his passes for 1,562 yards and 11 touchdowns to just four picks. He also added 166 yards on the ground, including 49 against TCU in the season finale. With a loaded receiving corps in place, Brewer is likely to push for All-Big 12 honors in 2018.

The full list:

10. Peyton Bender, Kansas

9. McLane Carter, Texas Tech

8. Taylor Cornelius, Oklahoma State

7. Shawn Robinson, TCU

6. Skylar Thompson, Kansas State

5. Kyle Kempt, Iowa State

4. Kyler Murray, Oklahoma

3. Sam Ehlinger, Texas

2. Charlie Brewer, Baylor

1. Will Grier, West Virginia

I like the order of the ranks. If I had thought about it much, I probably would have done something similar.

Brewer is a nice blend of Seth Russell and Nick Florence, lucky to have him...dare I say even more preferable than Kellen Mond or that Auburn guy would've been.

That is high praise, but from what he showed last year, seems accurate.
