The NFL is a quarterback driven league that puts a lot of teams in bad situations. There are only a handful of really elite quarterbacks which means there are a lot of teams scrambling to find an answer. This article looks a the top developmental quarterbacks who could fill this role.
Most of the quarterbacks on this list are backups who are just waiting to get an opportunity. Each of them have the physical traits needed to succeed in the NFL. A lot of them have shown flashes of their potential to succeed in the NFL.
There’s a mix of players who are likely to get a starting chance with their current team and more that will need a change of scenery.
