NFL quarterback No. 3 – Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is likely one of the most unlikable guys in the NFL but is also one of the most talented. He’s one that can get away with being difficult because you know he is going to throw for 4,000 plus yards and 35 touchdowns almost every season.

It will certainly be interesting to see how he fairs without Davante Adams, but I would also make the argument that Adams could see a decline in production without Rodgers.

With the NFC lacking talent at the top, I expect to see the Packers at least make it to the NFC championship game in 2022.

NFL quarterback No. 2 – Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

So, in 2018 it was Mayfield, Darnold, Josh Rosen, and Josh Allen. At the time, with the Browns having the number one pick, I was all in on Darnold.  Mayfield was likely my number two pick, but Allen may have been my least favorite.

Not only does he have one of the biggest arms in the league, but he also has the athleticism to bail himself out of tough situations, and has really dialed in his accuracy since turning pro.

There is no doubt that he was given a great situation in Buffalo where the defense has always been great. Some may have Allen closer to four or five in the top QB list, but after his postseason last year, I think 2022 will be a huge year for him.
