It’s been an impressive early preseason for the rookie quarterback class. Several rookie QBs have looked very good in the exhibition season, from No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson of the Colts to Raiders fourth-rounder Aidan O’Connell and beyond, a lot of rookie passers have played well in preseason.
The latest to join the list is Philadelphia’s Tanner McKee. The Eagles sixth-round pick from Stanford looked great in Thursday night’s 18-18 tie with the Cleveland Browns. McKee was poised and accurate in completing 10 of his 18 passes, netting 147 yards and a touchdown. He led the Eagles on both their scoring drives and (largely) successfully avoided an impactful Browns pass rush throughout the second half of the game.
