The 2021 NFL draft class saw five quarterbacks selected in the first 15 picks: Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Mac Jones. All of them had at least two starts as rookies, as did third-rounder Davis Mills. Overall, the results were as expected: first-year quarterback struggles.
Where do things stand for the six second-year quarterbacks entering the 2022 NFL season? Can Lawrence and Wilson (once he returns from surgery on his right knee injury) live up to their top-two-pick hype, and will Lance smoothly jump into a full-time starting role?
