The 2021 NFL Draft has five quarterbacks that could be franchise quarterbacks.
The most known players at the quarterback positions are Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. There are three other quarterbacks that no one is really talking about that could make an impact in the NFL.
Fields and Lawrence will most likely be the first two quarterbacks off the board but these top five quarterback prospects have the potential to have a great NFL career.

Kyle Trask has put together a season like the former first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft Joe Burrow. Trask has led Florida to a 7-1 record in the 2020 College Football season. The Florida Gators quarterback has been very accurate and smart with his decisions.
This season Kyle Trask has passed for 2,810 yards, 34 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and has a QBR of 93.4. Trask has a chance to be like Mitch Trubisky and be a surprise pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

1. Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)
Trevor Lawrence hasn't directly expressed that he does not want to play in New York for the Jets. But there is some thought that he would forgo the NFL Draft and come back to Clemson to play one more year in college if the Jets landed the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence has only lost one game at Clemson and that was the National Championship game against LSU.
This season Trevor Lawrence has passed for 2,236 yards, 19 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and has a QBR of 86.3. Lawrence has the size for an NFL quarterback and has had scouts dreaming about him on their teams. If Trevor Lawrence decides to come out of college and enter the NFL Draft he will not drop past number two. We could potentially see a Eli Manning and Philip Rivers situation in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Most likely landing spots: Jets, Jaguars
