5 QBs set to follow Jalen Hurts’ historic contract extension

4. Trevor Lawrence

Hailing from the 2021 NFL Draft class, the youngest quarterback on the list has set himself apart as one of the game’s true rising stars. Lawrence’s slow start to the 2022 season wouldn’t hinder him from showing the potential that helped him get selected first overall just two years ago, throwing for 4,113 yards in Jacksonville’s AFC South-winning campaign. While the Jaguars star quarterback won’t be on the timeline many in front of him will be on, Lawrence has a great opportunity to get a head start on his upcoming contract likely following next year. Without being from a dominant quarterback draft class like many others that will be searching for new deals, Lawrence will be in the mix of young signal callers to earn a record-setting deal in the near future.
