As NFL teams begin to open what everyone hopes will be an uninterrupted training camp schedule, that signals the annual trend of various websites and news organizations ranking the various players and position groups.
That includes The Athletic, which on Monday published its seventh annual listing of quarterbacks using a tier system. (The story is behind a paywall, just so you know.) The site asked 50 unnamed NFL coaches and evaluators to rate 35 veteran quarterbacks by placing each quarterback in one of five tiers, with Tier 1 being the best and Tier 5 being the worst.
