NFL second-year QBs outlook for 2022: Can Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Trey Lance take the next step?

Let's predict how well quarterbacks from the 2021 draft class will fare this season
The 2021 NFL Draft class of quarterbacks was a lot like the month of March -- in like a lion and out like a lamb. Not since Andrew Luck in 2012 was a quarterback more anointed as a prospect than Trevor Lawrence. His rookie year was forgettable. Zach Wilson rocketed up draft boards after a dazzling final season at BYU. His debut season with the Jets couldn't have been much worse.
The 49ers sold half of San Francisco to move up to No. 3 to pick Trey Lance. He barely played in Year 1. Even Justin Fields, a former No. 2 overall recruit in the nation coming out of high school was bad. And Mac Jones, who quarterbacked one of the most effortless national titles I can remember at Alabama, had a seemingly strong start to his season and flatlined down the stretch.
Let's look back on the 2021 seasons of each of theseall five three of quarterbacks -- and Davis Mills, can't forget about him -- and provide outlooks for their 2022 campaigns.
