How the NFL’s ‘big-time’ crop of second-year QBs could crash the elite

The Fantastic Four soon could find the Sophomore Six breathing down their necks.
It is commonly accepted across the NFL that the MVP race and the AFC’s spot in the Super Bowl run through the league’s undisputed four best quarterbacks: the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, the Bills’ Josh Allen, the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and the Bengals’ Joe Burrow.

Can the Bears’ Caleb Williams, the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels, the Patriots’ Drake Maye, the Falcons’ Michael Penix Jr., the Vikings’ J.J. McCarthy and the Broncos’ Bo Nix — all of whom were top-12 picks in the most quarterback-heavy top of the first round of all time — start nipping at their elders’ heels?
