The axiom is a bit tired, but that doesn't make it any less true: Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports.
Signal-callers dominate ESPN's top 25 NFL players of the current century. Quarterbacks constitute nearly one-fourth of the list with six, more than any other position.
Moreover, those players are responsible for 14 of the 25 Super Bowl championships this century. The QBs with multiple Lombardi Trophies occupy three of the top four spots on our list.
But it's not just about the guys under center. Nine other offensive players are among our top 25, as well as 10 defensive standouts.
