As the NFL preseason kicks off, all eyes are on a number of young quarterbacks looking to make their mark. In Baltimore, third-year pro Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, will start for the Colts as he battles veteran Daniel Jones for the starting job. The two players are currently listed as co-starters on the team's depth chart.
Elsewhere, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, will return to action against the Texans after missing all of last season due to a knee injury. McCarthy has big shoes to fill after the departure of Sam Darnold in free agency.
Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders, whose dramatic fall became the story of the 2025 NFL Draft, is set to be the starting quarterback for the Browns in their preseason opener against the Panthers. Sanders will look to revive his career and prove he belongs in the league.
These young signal-callers are sure to be the center of attention as the NFL preseason kicks into high gear this week.
