If I were to put together a list of the quarterbacks I’d most like to build around, Justin Herbert might crack the top-five. I’m saying that now, but four months ago, I thought the guy was legitimately bad at football. My point is, I’m an idiot. But I’m not alone. When it comes to evaluating […]
There were 11 quarterbacks selected in the 2019 NFL Draft, five of which attempted at least 150 passes last season.

Minshew was drafted to back up newly signed quarterback Nick Foles, but Minshew ended up […]
The Broncos are all in on second-year quarterback Drew Lock. Denver’s front office has revamped their offense this offseason with the acquisition of Melvin Gordon in free agency and the selection of Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy with the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

To get an appreciation for Elgton Jenkins’ rookie season, let’s start with the most rudimentary measuring stick. Playing time. Only 10 rookie offensive linemen in the entire league have played half of their team’s offensive snaps.

By MARK SIMON Who were the top defensive rookies in 2018? No. 1 in the majors isn’t hard to figure out if you’ve been paying close attention this season.
