Ranking the top 3 rookie quarterbacks heading into Week 8 of 2021 NFL season

Top 3 rookie quarterbacks this season

#2 - Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence has the most future potential of all rookie quarterbacks, but he ranks second in the 2021 NFL season so far. He had a rough start to the season but has already shown great improvement recently. In his last three games, he has thrown just one interception while accounting for four touchdowns, including two each of passing and rushing.

His development is going to be exciting to watch as he continues to adjust to NFL games. He has all of the tools to be a really special player. He is athletically gifted and a fierce competitor who understands the quarterback position. He won the first game of his career in London against the Miami Dolphins. He is the most well rounded of all the rookie quarterbacks.

#1 - Mac Jones, New England Patriots

Mac Jones has played the best of all rookie quarterbacks so far. His two most impressive attributes are his throwing accuracy and high intelligence. He graduated college with a perfect 4.0 GPA. This contributes to his ability to analyze a defense and understand the philosophy of the offense.

Mac Jones is not just the most accurate of rookie quarterbacks but has one of the best completion percentages in the entire NFL. His 70.4 mark is currently ranked fourth among all qualifying quarterbacks. It's very early, but it looks like the Patriots may have picked a winner in Mac Jones.
