3. Russell Wilson

Wilson is a quarterback in his prime. The Seattle Seahawks star doesn’t run as much these days but his passing is as crisp as ever. His excellent 2019 went under the radar because of the two names above him in these rankings. Overall, Wilson is a class act who also has maturity.

In sum, the 31-year-old is a surefire future Hall of Famer. Furthermore, the offense around him last season underwhelmed, taking the gloss off of his personal excellence. But now, in his ninth year in the NFL, it could be the time when he enters his best form.

2. Lamar Jackson

2019 was a stellar individual season for Jackson. However, the NFL MVP will want to go even further this time. In truth, you could have Wilson and Jackson side-by-side because they are so good. But we’re choosing to put Jackson at number two because he’s just so exciting.

Last year, he threw for 3,127 yards with 36 touchdowns and rushed for another 1,200 yards. Those are tremendous numbers. The Ravens have also added to their defense this season with the likes of Calais Campbell. A stronger team will only help him to flourish.

1. Patrick Mahomes

After a Super Bowl-winning season with the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes is looking to carry on where he left off. He just signed the biggest contract in sports history this week with a 10-year extension worth up to a reported $503 million. If the Chiefs repeat the feat, Mahomes will be the first quarterback since Tom Brady to win back-to-back Super Bowls. It would be quite a feat.

Lamar Jackson is close but nobody else is on his level right now. Of course, things may change as the season progresses but it will take a lot. In 2019, Mahomes threw for the seventh-most yards in a season (4,031) in Chiefs history despite missing two-and-a-half games because of an injury. He’ll hope to get back above 5,000 in 2020, but stats only mean so much. He won the Super Bowl MVP in 2019 after winning league MVP in his first year as a starter the prior season.
