Heck, not all five are guaranteed to enter next year\u2019s draft!<\/p>\n<p>These are the five QBs to watch immediately if you haven\u2019t already. Of course, there\u2019s plenty more where that came from, but it\u2019s a nice early look at who could be a future NFL star.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s dive into PFF\u2019s rankings as we sit here in June. We start in the SEC!<\/p>\n<p>2024 stats: 939 passing yards, 9 TD, 2 INT, 108 rushing yards, 4 TD<\/p>\n<p>Manning certainly has the physical gifts with his arm and legs going into the 2025 season. But there\u2019s no guarantee that he\u2019ll enter the 2026 NFL Draft. Considering this will be his first year as the full-time starter, it\u2019s wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>Still, if he does and performs like he\u2019s projected to, Manning will be the hottest name due to his play and family namesake. The potential is there to be special.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Drew-Allar-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-Football-Purdue-On3-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Penn State quarterback Drew Allar (Photo credit: \u00a9 Marc Lebryk-Imagn Images)\" class=\"wp-image-2903195\"  \/>(Photo credit: \u00a9 Marc Lebryk-Imagn Images)<\/p>\n<p>2024 stats: 3,327 passing yards, 24 TD, 8 INT, 66.5%, 302 rushing yards, 6 TD<\/p>\n<p>Allar looked NFL-ready last season following Penn State\u2019s CFP run. But he opted to return to the team which coincided with the transfer of backup Beau Pribula during the playoff run (he went to Missouri).<\/p>\n<p>Allar is the second highest ranked QB in PFF\u2019s rankings ahead of the NFL Draft. He\u2019s got the size and the arm for certain. Consistency and lack of turnovers is key but 2025 could culminate in his best year yet.<\/p>\n<p>2024 stats: 4,052 passing yards, 29 TD, 12 INT, 64.2%, 3 rushing TD<\/p>\n<p>Nussmeier will likely be in the Heisman race. That\u2019s not to say the other QBs won\u2019t, but he\u2019s been a popular preseason pick to contend for the award this year.<\/p>\n<p>Nussmeier has some buzz going into the draft already. Following a great 2024 campaign, he can add to his resume with another great stat line and perhaps a playoff berth for LSU.<\/p>\n<p>2024 stats: 3,639 passing yards, 36 TD, 6 INT, 63.4%, 463 rushing yards, 7 TD<\/p>\n<p>Klubnik had the best season of his college career in 2024. What does he have for a follow-up this fall?<\/p>\n<p>He could play his way higher into the NFL Draft next spring if he can win an ACC title and lead Clemson back to the College Football Playoff. Maybe a run through the bracket will aid the cause since he\u2019s proven it in the stat department already.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Sam-Leavitt-Arizona-State-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Leavitt, Arizona State\" class=\"wp-image-3379012\"  \/>Sam Leavitt, Arizona State \u2013 \u00a9 Patrick Breen\/The Republic \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>2024 stats: 2,885 passing yards, 24 TD, 6 INT, 61.7%, 443 rushing yards, 5 TD<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt transferred out of Michigan State following the 2023 season and became a late-season star with the Sun Devils. Now, he\u2019s getting NFL Draft buzz for his skill and swagger.<\/p>\n<p>Back-to-back Big 12 titles and another College Football Playoff appearance will certainly draw the eyes of QB needy teams in the pros. He\u2019s been the embodiment of a fun Arizona State team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pro Football Focus released their top five quarterback rankings in a way-too-early release of 2026 NFL Draft ratings.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[5242,5978,5792,7,5796,6,15,5992],"class_list":{"0":"post-150647","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-arch-manning-23-isidore-newman","9":"tag-cade-klubnik-22-westlake","10":"tag-drew-allar-22-medina","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-garrett-nussmeier-21-marcus","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-draft","15":"tag-sam-leavitt-23-west-linn"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114728754572311874","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
