Casey Pachall

Pachall was off to a great start last season before a DWI arrest led to an indefinite suspension that ended his season prematurely. He spent time in a rehab facility, and comments from head coach Gary Patterson indicate that Pachall’s problems were limited to off-the-field issues. Having kept the respect of his coach, Pachall is a good bet to win his job back, though he could face competition from Trevone Boykin. Boykin did a respectable job of replacing Pachall last season and is the more mobile of the two signal callers, but Pachall is still the favorite to start come Week 1. He’ll hope to find the pre-arrest form that saw him complete 228-of-343 passes for 2,921 yards, 25 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 2011.
