Stanford’s towering, developmental QB with big-frame intrigue
Ryan Eklund brings rare quarterback size at 6-8 and was still being described by Stanford as a developmental reserve in his college years, with coaches praising his steady improvement and great size for the position. He is the kind of QB who can fit a system that values patience, polish, and upside over instant fireworks. The catch: the available Stanford bios and stat pages show limited career production, so the appeal is less about proven volume and more about projection, toughness in the room, and long-term ceiling.
