Connor Bedard took over the Chicago Blackhawks' TikTok to rank NFL quarterbacks. Bedard will soon start his sophomore NHL season. Last season he scored 61 points and 22 goals despite missing six weeks with a fractured jaw. This season again, the expectations are high from the forward.

In the video, he played a "blind ranking" game, placing QBs without knowing who would come next.

"What's up, guys? Gonna blind ranks from quarterbacks." Bedard started the video.

Here are the NFL quarterbacks ranked by Connor Bedard:

#10. Bo Nix (Denver Broncos)

"just started. Obviously promising, but I'll put him at the bottom."

#9. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders).

"Same thing. He's young. Just gonna start himself, but I'm gonna be at the bottom (Tenth)."

#8. Aidan O'Connell (Las Vegas Raiders).

"I'll put him. Put him at eight here."

#7. Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers)

"A lot of talent there. I'll put him just under Mayfield."

#6. Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

"Pretty underrated. I think I'll put him at six."

#5. Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals).

"Pretty dynamic. I'll go five."

#4. Jared Goff (Detroit Lions).

"He's really good. That's a really good team."

#3. Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins)

#2. Will Levis (Tennessee Titans)

"Pretty young, Two."

#1. J.J. McCarthy (Minnesota Vikings)

"It's all right. I probably would change this list up a little bit, but there you go."

Connor Bedard teams up with Artyom Levshunov for Blackhawks rebuild

Artyom Levshunov, who was selected second overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, is focused on his development rather than the pressure of being a high pick. The 18-year-old defenseman shared playing the game without overthinking.

Levshunov is set to play alongside Connor Bedard, the 2023 No. 1 draft pick, who had an impressive rookie season with 61 points and a Calder Trophy win. While Levshunov’s first year may not mirror Bedard's, he is an important piece for the Blackhawks' rebuild.

"I think he's such a good player," Levshunov said (via NHL.com on September 09). "He's such a good player on the ice, and such a good guy. Looking forward, yeah, I can't wait to play with him. I just would look to help him on the ice to score more goals. And he could help me too."

Levshunov trained in North America during the offseason and signed a three-year entry-level contract in July. He’s eager to develop his chemistry with Connor Bedard and looks forward to contributing to the Blackhawks’ success this season.
