The NFL season is almost here, and that means it’s time to talk about the most important players on the field: the quarterbacks. These are the guys who lead the offense, make the big throws, and, most importantly, win games. While there are a lot of talented QBs in the league, a few are simply in a class of their own.
As we get ready for a new season, here’s a look at the five quarterbacks who are at the very top of the game right now.
1. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) The conversation starts and often ends with Mahomes.
A three-time Super Bowl MVP, his incredible arm strength and ability to make jaw-dropping plays out of nothing have established him as the standard for modern quarterbacks. He’s the most dynamic playmaker in the NFL and the main reason the Chiefs are a constant Super Bowl threat.
2. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) The reigning league MVP, Jackson is a true dual-threat marvel. He combines the agility and speed of a running back with the skills of a top-tier passer.
He led the league in passing touchdowns and passer rating last season, proving that his game is about more than just his legs.
3. Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) With a cannon for an arm and a fearless running style, Allen is a force of nature. He’s one of the few QBs who can single-handedly take over a game.
His clutch performances and knack for delivering under pressure make him a constant threat to any defense.
4. Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals) “Joe Cool” is back and better than ever. After a season-ending injury, Burrow returned to lead the league in passing yards and touchdowns.
His precision and composure in the pocket make him one of the most accurate and effective passers in the NFL.
5. Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) While some may not see him as a traditional top passer, Hurts’s winning record and undeniable leadership speak for themselves.
The Super Bowl MVP is a master of the “Tush Push” and a great playmaker with both his arm and his legs, making him a nightmare for defenses to prepare for.
