5 NFL QBs who are currently better than Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He last played during the 2020 season, when he led the entire league in passing yards. After taking a year off, he will likely return for the 2022 NFL season with the Cleveland Browns after being traded during the offseason. While the Browns now have one of the best quarterbacks, here are five that are currently better than he is.
5 NFL QBs who are better than Deshaun Watson right now
#5 - Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow has quickly ascended to one of the top quarterbacks in his very brief time in the NFL so far. The 2022 season was just the second of his career and the first in which he completed a full season. He wasted no time finding success, helping the Cincinnati Bengals win the AFC Championship and appear in the Super Bowl.
Burrow was extremely efficient during the 2022 regular season. He led all quarterbacks in completion percentage and yards per completion while ranking second in passer rating last year.
#4 - Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos
Russell Wilson has spent his entire career so far with the Seattle Seahawks, where he has won two NFC Championships and one Super Bowl ring. He will join a new team for the first time in the 2022 season after being traded to the Denver Broncos in one of the biggest blockbusters of the offseason.
“It’s a defining move for George Paton.”

While Russell Wilson's cumulative statistics were down in the 2021 season due to a finger injury, he still managed to put up impressive efficiency numbers. He ranked in the top five in both touchdowns to interception ratio, as well as passer rating. He has thrown 292 career touchdown passes against just 87 interceptions.
