What happened: Rich Eisen released his rankings of NFL quarterbacks ahead of the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Analyst evaluations across July highlight differing opinions on the quarterback hierarchy heading into 2026. Earlier this month, Pro Football Focus slotted Joe Burrow at No. 2 and Lamar Jackson at No. 3 in its 2026 starting quarterback rankings. Eisen places both behind Matthew Stafford entering training camp.

What to watch: Quarterback evaluations will continue to shift as NFL training camps open later in July. All three passers prepare for the start of the 2026 preseason.
