Top 5 NFL QBs under 30 heading into 2022 season
While many NFL quarterbacks often get better with age and maturity, the wave of young players at the position currently has taken the league by storm. Many youthful quarterbacks are among the best in the league with their elite talents, despite their relative inexperience compared to some of the veterans.
Here are the top five quarterbacks under the age of 30 entering the 2022 NFL. All five of them are also among the top 10 overall quarterbacks heading into the upcoming season.
#5 - Dak Prescott - 28 years, Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott put together the best statistical season of his career in 2021 with the Dallas Cowboys. He was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league, ranking fourth in completion percentage and third in passer rating while recording an excellent 37 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions.
While Prescott and the Cowboys ultimately failed in their only playoff game, that doesn't take away from his impressive regular season. He appears to have taken a step forward in his career and will look to build on that even further in the upcoming 2022 NFL season.
#4 - Joe Burrow - 25 years, Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow made the case for himself to be among the MVP candidates during the 2021 season while leading the Cincinnati Bengals to an AFC Championship victory and a Super Bowl appearance in his first full season as a starting quarterback.

Burrow led all quarterbacks during the 2021 season in completion percentage, the only player to exceed 70 percent, and ranked second in passer rating, trailing only MVP winner Aaron Rodgers. After just 26 career starts, he's just getting started with his career and his potential is sky high.
