When it comes to the best quarterbacks in the NFL, it’s hard to look past the big names like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Patrick Mahomes. But, behind them, there are plenty of potential stars waiting in the wings. From former college standouts to veterans with plenty of experience, no matter your team’s depth at the position, there is a quarterback to fit the bill.
As I recently watched the NFL Draft, I was surprised to see just how many available QBs there were. From former first-round picks to undrafted stars, there really are a ton of talented quarterbacks out there that teams could potentially take advantage of. It’s exciting to think that there are still some hidden gems that teams could use to milk more wins out of the season.
One guy that really stood out as a potential playmaker on the field is Josh Rosen. Rosen was let go by the Miami Dolphins after only two years, and he has plenty of untapped potential. He possesses a strong arm, he’s a smart player, and he’s a great leader on the field. He also has the size and the mobility to make some big plays out of nothing, which will be a real asset to any team that picks him up.
Another great quarterback that could be available is Andy Dalton. Dalton is a veteran quarterback, and while he’s not flashy, he is a reliable, consistent QB that knows how to read a defense and put the ball where it needs to go. Plus, he has a ton of experience in the playoffs, which could give a team a much-needed jolt in the right direction.
Jameis Winston is another really interesting available QB. Winston has had his ups and downs in the NFL, but there’s no denying his sheer talent. He has been a great starter for some time in Tampa Bay, and there’s no reason to think that he won’t continue to do well in another franchise. His strong arm and his ability to read a defense make him an ideal candidate for a wildcard team looking to have a game-changing quarterback on their roster.
Finally, there’s the wildcard option of Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick has been out of the NFL for a few years now, but if given the chance, he could be an electric player. He’s got a lot of character and enthusiasm, he’s a dual-threat QB in terms of throwing and running, and he has a unique ability to make plays out of nothing.
All in all, there are some amazing available quarterbacks out there this season. Whether a team is looking for a veteran to give them a spark or a younger talent to groom into a franchise QB, there’s no shortage of options. It’s gonna be interesting to see where all these guys wind up in the coming months.
