#3 - Matt Ryan

Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan has remained relatively consistent throughout his career with the Atlanta Falcons. Prior to the 2021 NFL season, when he fell just 32 yards short, he was on a streak of ten consecutive years to eclipse 4,000 passing yards. He was selected to to four Pro Bowls and also won an NFL MVP award during the 2016 season. In that campaign, he helped the Falcons reach the Super Bowl.

After 14 solid seasons with the Falcons, Ryan was traded to the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. He will play with a new team for the first time in his career and the Colts expect to be postseason contenders with their new quarterback.

#2 - Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson sat out the entire 2021 NFL season with the Houston Texans while dealing with a legal situation and requesting a trade. So he last played during the 2020 season. That year, he led the NFL with 4,823 passing yards while throwing 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. He also earned his third consecutive selection to the Pro Bowl.

Despite not playing in over a year and a suspension likely coming soon, Watson was acquired by the Cleveland Browns this offseason. Adding an elite quarterback to an already talented roster makes the Browns a potential Super Bowl contender.

#1 - Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL during his decade-long career with the Seattle Seahawks. He was selected to the Pro Bowl nine times in ten years. He has accumulated an impressive 104-53-1 record with 292 touchdowns and 87 interceptions. He helped the Seahawks win two conference titles and a Super Bowl ring while recording a 9-7 postseason record.

In one of the most surprising moves of the 2022 NFL offseason, Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos. He is surrounded by a loaded roster on both sides of the ball and expects to compete for more Super Bowl rings immediately.
