Grading the NFL’s top rookie quarterbacks through four weeks

Taking a look at some of this year’s top rookie quarterbacks and how they have performed through the first four weeks of the season.

The 2018 rookie class of quarterbacks in the NFL is part of a new wave of stars at the position across the entire league.

With Lamar Jackson — the 32nd overall pick to the Baltimore Ravens — being the only exception, every other one of this year’s first-round quarterbacks has now officially been named the starter of their respective teams, with Josh Rosen of the Cardinals and Baker Mayfield of the Browns making their starting debuts in week four.

How have all of these players looked through the first four weeks of the season? Obviously, the sample size is bigger for some than it is for others, but it hasn’t taken long for these young stars to make an impact on their teams.

So far, three of these four players have been part of victories, including a couple of the shocking variety. Mayfield and the Browns got on the board for the first time in nearly two full calendar years, the Jets surprised everyone in Detroit with a Monday Night Football blowout, and the Buffalo Bills shockingly went into Minnesota and beat the Vikings on their own turf.

Let’s take a look at this year’s quarterback class and evaluate their play through four weeks.
