2023 Stats: 5 games, completed 131-of-191 passes, 1349 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT

Washington’s QB situation remains murky. The Commanders signed Jacoby Brissett this offseason after letting longtime backup/spot-starter Taylor Heinicke walk. Brissett played fairly well for the Browns — given the circumstances — and could challenge for the starting role. Though, reports out of Washington indicate the team believes in second-year hurler Sam Howell who got his first taste of NFL action late last season. Howell has a strong arm and is still just 22 years old. Fortunately for him, he’ll be inheriting a strong receiving corps led by Terry McLaurin. As of now, it appears the Commanders will do whatever it takes to allow their young passer to develop and mature in the league.
