The spring/summer tradition continues! Over the next several weeks, I'll be exploring the current landscape of NFL players heading into the 2021 season through a series of lists showcasing the best players at each position. Before we get started, here are a few notes on the rules and criteria I use to assemble these rankings:
1.Rookies are excluded from inclusion.
2.Players are judged on where they currently stand in my opinion, not the player they once were or potentially could be.
3.Each player is listed as a member of the team they are currently expected to play for in 2021. If they are not on a roster at the time of posting, they will be listed as a free agent.
Now that the ground rules have been established, let's get the party started with the always fun to debate quarterback hierarchy.
Note: Due to the ongoing legal issues and unmet trade demands threatening his playing status for the 2021 season, Deshaun Watson will be excluded from this list.
