College football players with the most to prove in 2015, starting in the spring - ESPN
QB Josh Dobbs, Tennessee
If not for Dobbs and the run-pass option he provided for Tennessee's offense after Justin Worley was injured last season, there's no way the Vols would have made a bowl game. Fast-forward to this spring, and you're seeing Dobbs' name pop up on the periphery of some Heisman Trophy discussion. He's a brilliant kid and should handle the hype like a champ. But the big question is whether or not Dobbs can throw it consistently enough and has the kind of arm to use the entire field effectively. Making that happen is a priority for new offensive coordinator Mike DeBord. Dobbs has struggled throwing the ball against some of the better defenses he has faced. He has the smarts and the athleticism to be one of the better quarterbacks in the SEC. The next step is proving he can be a big-time passer.
