QUARTERBACK RANKINGS 2024 NFL DRAFT

USC's Caleb Williams, hot on the heels of a Heisman-level campaign, is the name on many lips. His blend of arm strength and decision-making sets him apart. Yet, it's a tight race at the top. Drake Maye from North Carolina, with his exceptional field IQ and pinpoint accuracy, is nipping at Williams' heels, challenging the QB1 narrative.

After Shedeur Sanders opted to return to the Colorado it left open the third spot for the Heisman winner Jayden Daniels who's put up incredible numbers this year. Meanwhile, down south in Texas, Quinn Ewers is dispelling any early-career skepticism with a display of increased pocket awareness and a tantalizing deep-ball prowess. Michael Penix Jr.'s cerebral game at Washington along with late-season heroics has catapulted him into top-ten consideration.

With franchises hungry for the next generational talent under center, this quarterback class, arguably one of the best we've ever glimpsed, stands ready to deliver.
