There were four quarterbacks taken in the first two rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft. And while Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders was the only one to start all 16 games, they all becames starters at some point. And now, the Raiders along with Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, and Minnesota Vikings are looking for their quarterbacks to make that big jump in year two.

They say an NFL player, especially a quarterback, makes the biggest jump in his career from year one to two. In Week 1 of the 2015 season, neither quarterback appeared to have made that jump. But in Week 2, every team that drafted quarterback in the first two rounds started him and won their game.

And all of their quarterbacks made the big jump from Week 1 to two to show that rookie-to-sophomore jump.

Turn the page for a look at each one of them.
