Quarterbacks

  • Matthew Stafford
  • Tom Savage

Contrary to popular belief, Matthew Stafford is still one of the most naturally gifted quarterbacks in the NFL. While he still has his ups and downs, Stafford has largely been better than the narrative would indicate. Tom Savage has been on multiple teams as a backup with a strong arm in his fairly short career.

Player to watch: David Fales
