    Carden was rated the tenth best quarterback in the 2015 NFL Draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[9] Lance Zierlein of NFL.com predicted that he would be selected in the seventh round. Zierlein said that Carden "Lacks the desired play traits that NFL teams look for, but his production and poise on the move are undeniable and he is a very quick processor on the field."[10]
