Rookie NFL Quarterbacks

ROOKIE NFL QB’S

By Cameron Messinger and Parham Bigdeli 

Class of 2026

The 2023 NFL season begins with three impressive rookie quarterbacks, all taken in the first round of the draft.

Bryce Young, the rookie from the University of Alabama. Has demonstrated all the qualities that the Carolina Panthers need.  He can throw the ball from many hard angles but not only that. His arm strength is what truly impressed the Panthers. This is showing why he earned the number one pick.

The quarterback of the Houston Texans, C.J. Stroud, has a throw accuracy that has been fantastic lately. When he has time to think, he usually makes the right passes directly in the receivers hands. He has always been good at this, doing it at Ohio State University as well.  C.J. Stroud has already led his team to 3 wins so far, which is impressive considering last year the Texans only had three wins in the whole season without C.J. Stroud.

Anthony Richardson is further ahead than how many thought he might be, given how he played at The University of Florida.  He is a pretty inexperienced quarterback, who only started thirteen games at Florida. So far he has started with a pretty good season with the Colts, having seven total touchdowns and only one interception during up and down games. Unfortunately he suffered a AC Joint Injury to his right shoulder during week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. He will be out for at least four weeks which is really gonna hurt the Colts and the bright stars' future.

  Young, Stroud and Richardson are part of a growing NFL trend of rookie QBs being thrown into the fire right away.
