As we prepare for the 2021- 22 NFL season, here’s a look into those Black signal callers who’ll be taking the field around the league.
We begin our rankings in Kansas City,
where
Patrick Ma-
homes is
still in charge
of the
league’s most
dynamic of-
fense. He’s
led the Chiefs
to back-to-
back Super
Bowls, win-
ning one and losing one.
If Andy Reid can protect Mahomes, KC will be right in the thick of the Super Bowl race. Mahomes was just voted #1 in the NFL Top 100 players, for the first time by his peers.
Russell Wilson is back with the Seat-
playoff win after two embarrass- ing home playoff losses his first two sea- sons.
This sea- son he’ll be
looking to LAMAR take the birds JACKSON by way of
“Charm City,” a few steps fur- ther. While there’s been a lot of talk about him not being vacci- nated and having COVID-19 twice, there’s no question of his value to the Ravens.
Dak Prescott returns from his sea-
son-ending
ankle injury,
but prior to
the injury
Prescott
was putting
up video
game num-
bers for a
Dallas Cow-
boys team PRESCOTT lacking any presence on the defensive side of the football. He’s back and looking to pickup where he left off. With an improved defense and weaponry surrounding him, expect another big year from the “Hail State” alum.
Kyler Murray – The elec- tric Murray
needs to take
that next step,
ing Alvin Kamara will help immensely.
Teddy Bridgewater – “Teddys
Jam” just
keeps
resurfacing
and win-
ning start-
ing jobs.
He’ll lead
the upstart
Broncos
with a lot of
young, but BRIDGEWATER unproven
weaponry at his disposal.
Jalen Hurts – Hurts is a consumate
tle Seahawks
after lengthy
talks with the
front office.
Through the
first nine
weeks of the
2020 season
Wilson was
the leading
candidate for
MVP. The team’s porous de- fense and lack of a running game played a role in Wilson slipping out of contention as he was forced to try and outscore teams weekly.
Jameis Winston – Gets his shot at re-
DAK
JALEN HURTS
PATRICK MAHOMES
RUSSELL WILSON
pro and
showed
some prom-
ise in limited
time last
season. In
fact, he
showed
enough to
allow the Ea-
gles to part
ways with 2016 No.2 overall pick Carson Wentz. On the other hand, signing veteran and Super Bowl winner Joe Flacco and then trading with the Jaguars for quarterback Gardner Minshew is an in- dication that Hurts is still on major probabtion.
Tyrod Taylor – Taylor is a solid QB
TEDDY
demption
under Sean
Payton in
Nawlins. The
former Heis-
man winner
and NFL TD
passes leader
was very good
in his final
preseason
start, winning the starting job.
Expect a big year from Winston if he learns how to play the short game. Having Alvin Kamara will help im- mensely.
LaMar Jackson is the dy- namic force who makes the Baltimore Ravens go. Last sea- son he finally secured his first
but he’s being
somewhat
hindered by
the unproven
and very over-
rated head
coach Kliff
Kingsbury.
This is a big
year for the diminutive one in the “Valley of the Sun.”
Expect a big year for the one they call “Crab Legs.” Hav-
who’s had
some unfor-
tunate cir-
cumstances
overshadow
his play over
the years.
He’ll proba-
bly start for
the debacle
also known
as the Texans, holding fort, while Deshaun Watson’s off-the-field stuff gets re- solved.
