The NFL season is officially here, with the Chiefs and Ravens kicking off 2024 on Thursday night. The FOX Sports NFL staff has been rolling out their annual position rankings to get you acquainted with the biggest names in the sport.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve covered the top off-ball linebackers, cornerbacks, edge rushers, running backs and wide receivers. Now we’ll dive into quarterbacks. Members of the FOX Sports NFL staff listed their 10 best in order heading into the 2024 season. A first-place vote merited 10 points in our methodology and descended from there, down to a single point for 10th place. We then combined the scores to determine our rankings.
This year’s wide receiver list saw seven returning players from last year’s rankings, with quarterbacks being a similar story. Two new faces entered the picture in 2023, with eight returning.
For the second straight year, Patrick Mahomes earned the top spot on the list after another incredible Super Bowl run in 2023.
The position is also filled with young talent, as seven of the 10 are 28 or younger. Three players over age 30 managed to crack the list.
We’ll continue to roll out the best players at other positions between now and the start of the season. For now, here are the NFL’s best quarterbacks.

Because he has a way of taking control of games in a way that shows the true power of a quarterback. He’s going to go down as one of the greatest of all time.
2023 rank: 1st
2. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Ben Arthur: Jackson is still a rung below Mahomes and hasn’t…
