Every year leading up to the NFL Draft, Jon Gruden meets with the top quarterback prospects in Gruden's QB Camp. This year the Monday Night Football announcer and former coach will meet with not only nine quarterbacks, but also three non-quarterbacks including controversial Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.

The quaterbacks who will participate in Gruden's QB Camp this year Matt Barkley (USC), Tyler Bray (Tennessee), Zac Dysert (Miami, OH), Mike Glennon (N.C. State), Landry Jones (Oklahoma), EJ Manuel (Florida State), Ryan Nassib (Syracuse), Geno Smith (West Virginia), and Tyler Wilson (Arkansas).
The non-quaterbacks will be Te'o, Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel, and South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore. This is the first year that the Gruden QB Camp has featured any non-quarterbacks. Te'o was considered a top prospect, but his hoax girlfriend scandal has hurt his draft stock. Joeckel could be the top overall pick and Lattimore is recovering from a gruesome knee injury.
Each prospect will meet with Gruden in his office for a film session and most will participate in some on-field drills. The first installment of the series will air on April 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, other segments will follow throughout the month on the various ESPN networks.
