Joel Klatt of FOX Sports talked a big game about quarterback Graham Mertz Wednesday evening as he’s off to a great start this season.

Here’s the video, courtesy of the Big Ten Network’s Twitter account:

“Graham Mertz looks like the real deal, I got to tell you,” said Klatt. “Once Justin Fields exits this conference after this season, Mertz I think is going to be the best QB in the league. And maybe one of the best QBs in the entire country. Northwestern is going to have its hands full with a guy I think is really special.”

In two games this season, Mertz has seven touchdown passes to zero interceptions. Five of those touchdown passes came in their first matchup against Illinois. He was also 20-for-21 passing during that game.

Mertz will have to continue his high level of play, especially against No. 19 Northwestern this Saturday. Kickoff for that game will be at 3:30 p.m. ET and it will be shown on ABC.
