Bearcats Star QB Desmond Ridder Makes Bold Declaration Ahead of 2022 NFL Draft

The 22-year-old is one of the top quarterback prospects in this class.

CINCINNATI — Will Desmond Ridder be the top quarterback taken in the 2022 NFL Draft? 

The 22-year-old led the Bearcats to a perfect 13-0 regular season and helped them get to the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. 

Ridder wasn't shy when asked why a team should take him in next month's NFL Draft. 

"They should draft me because I'm the best quarterback in this class," Ridder said during an appearance on Good Morning Football. "I'm the quarterback who has the most wins, most experience and I'm ready to go out there and lead a team to a Super Bowl. And go out there and build a winning culture for an organization, for a team and for a city and a community."

Ridder helped Cincinnati win 44 games in four seasons. He has the third most wins in college football history.
