What happened: Pro Football Focus released its offseason evaluation of projected starting quarterbacks for the 2026 campaign, placing Josh Allen at the of the position. Deshaun Watson occupies the 32nd slot among evaluated passers.
Why it matters: For Buffalo, having the top-evaluated passer reinforces the team's championship aspirations despite recent offensive roster turnover. Meanwhile, Watson's placement at the bottom underscores the ongoing discrepancy between his on-field production and his fully guaranteed $230 million contract entering his fifth season in Cleveland. The contrast highlights the opposing trajectories of the two AFC organizations heading into training camp.
What to watch: Both quarterbacks report to training camp later this month as practices open across the NFL. Preseason workouts will provide the first opportunity for both players to establish their form ahead of Week 1.
