OTL: Another Chapter in Jackson vs. Allen

The 2018 NFL Draft featured the selection of five separate quarterbacks in the first round. Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Lamar Jackson. As we enter Week 4 of the 2024 season, only two of the five selected QBs remain with the teams who gave them the call on draft night. Allen, who many deemed a “project” more than a prospect, has given Buffalo and their fans the QB they so desperately missed since the Jim Kelly days. Jackson received criticism throughout the draft process, with some so-called “experts” suggesting the Heisman-winning quarterback switch positions.
