It’s not just Jayden Daniels. Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams might be watching two fellow first-round picks in the playoffs while he’s home wondering what’s next at Halas Hall.
As Williams faces the Packers on Sunday in a game so meaningless that there’s debate about whether he should play, Broncos rookie Bo Nix has a win-and-in game against the Chiefs and Daniels’ Commanders have already clinched.
Here’s a look at all five active first-round quarterbacks:
No. 1 overall pick: Bears QB Caleb Williams
Things are deteriorating around Williams, and he’s sliding, too. In a 6-3 loss to the Seahawks, he threw for 122 yards (his third-lowest total this season), had a 53.0 passer rating (second-lowest) and got sacked seven times (second-most).
No. 2 overall pick: Commanders QB Jayden Daniels
The Offensive Rookie of the Year race is over. Daniels leads the quarterbacks in most categories and his team is 11-5.
No. 3 overall pick: Patriots QB Drake Maye
Maye joins Daniels and Nix ahead of Williams’ 87.4 passer rating. He’s at 88.3 despite a rough game against the Chargers.
No. 8 overall pick: Falcons QB Michael Penix
Penix has much to learn but flashed potential with a touchdown pass in the final minutes against the Commanders to force overtime Sunday.
No. 12 overall pick: Broncos QB Bo Nix
One huge advantage for Nix: He’s playing behind a top-10 offensive line that has allowed him to be sacked just 24 times — about half of Daniels’ total and a third of Williams’.
