Here is how Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield compares to the other signal-callers in his draft class

This upcoming season will end up being the fourth year that Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been in the NFL. 45 regular-season starts and two playoff starts, including the franchise’s first playoff win since 1994, later, it’s clear that Mayfield is the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns for the foreseeable future.

Headlined by Baker Mayfield as the first overall pick, the 2018 quarterback draft class was jam-packed with quarterback talent. This class is the best quarterback draft class since the 2012 quarterback class which featured Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins, and Robert Griffin III.

With how electric Baker, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen have played, the 2018 quarterback class has the potential to end up being the best since the legendary 2004 quarterback class which featured Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger.

Through their first three seasons, the 2018 class has chalked up two pro bowl appearances, one MVP trophy, an All-Pro appearance, and a combined 4-6 playoff record. Each quarterback has won a playoff game, and has 6 combined trips between the three, despite all being in the same conference.

Let’s take a look, though, at how the 2018 quarterback class compares against each other. In this article, we will compare the quarterbacks in terms of their completion percentage, touchdown percentage, interception percentage, passing yards per game, passer rating, and yards per attempt.

These six statistics, while not perfect, really paint a good picture of how the careers of these quarterbacks have gone so far. We will also not only be comparing the top three quarterbacks in this class so far, but all six quarterbacks who have started at least 9 games in the NFL.
