ESPN ranks all 32 NFL QB rooms entering 2024 season

No NFL team invested more at the quarterback position this offseason than the Atlanta Falcons. After signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract in free agency, the Falcons used a top-10 draft pick on Michael Penix Jr. This strategy sets the team up for success in the present and the future.

So how does the Falcons quarterback room stack up against the rest of the NFL? That question, along with many others, was answered by ESPN’s Mike Clay. He did the dirty work of using a formula to grade and sort every position group for the entire NFL going into the 2024 season.

Check out where all 32 QB rooms are ranked in Clay’s projections below:
