Grading NFL rookie QBs, other young signal-callers from Week 5: Bo Nix delivers finest performance to date

The Jayden Daniels rock-star tour continued in Week 5 as he and the Commanders demolished the Browns in a game that never really felt close. It wasn’t Daniels’ finest performance, yet he connected on two deep-ball touchdowns to aid in Washington’s offensive onslaught. 

In fact, it was Bo Nix who had his best outing to date, against the Raiders at home. Sean Payton still isn’t asking a lot from him, but he made the most of the opportunities given to him to stretch the defense and took care of the football. 

There were five quarterbacks selected in the past two NFL Draft classes who saw considerable playing time during a tightly contested Week 5. Let’s dive deep into the individual efforts of each quarterback and assign a grade on a per-snap basis, taking every individual aspect of their performance into account. 

(At least 10 attempts were needed to qualify for this piece, which comes out weekly on Tuesdays.)

Week 5 stats
