Dan Orlovsky ranks Trevor Lawrence ahead of Mac Jones on top 5 young quarterbacks list

As the NFL season approaches ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky released his top five quarterbacks aged 25 or younger. Although there isn’t much debate to be had at the top of the list, the back end leaves a bit to be discussed.

Top 5 QBs 25 or younger (in order)

5-Mac Jones
4-Trevor Lawrence
3-Justin Herbert
2-Lamar Jackson
1-Joe Burrow

Orlovsky placed Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence ahead of Patriots quarterback Mac Jones despite the gap in performance between the two during their rookie seasons. Both quarterbacks won their teams starting jobs ahead of Week 1 but it was Jones who saw strong success in New England despite being selected several picks behind Lawrence.
