Besides Trevor Lawrence and Trey Lance, three other quarterbacks were drafted in the first round this year. Zach Wilson will try to relieve the New York Jets, who won only two games last season and who have not seen the play-offs for 11 years. At the New England Patriots, Mac Jones will try to succeed where Cam Newton failed: to ensure the post-Tom Brady. Justin Fields will be the No. 2 in Chicago. But he is already threatening Andy Dalton, the holder.
To follow also, the young people who had discovered the NFL last year: Joe Burrow (Cincinnati) and Tua Tagovailoa (Miami) had shown beautiful things. The first was stopped by injury and the second shared the post of QB with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Justin Herbert had been stratospheric with the LA Chargers (4,336 yards and 31 touchdowns). Without forgetting Baker Mayfield, pro for four years, who allowed Cleveland to find the play-offs, last year, after 19 years of absence.
