The quarterback class of the 2023 NFL Draft will be represented from the start of the 2023-24 NFL Season as Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson are slated to begin their pro careers as QB1’s.
Young will suit up for the Panthers, Stroud will lead the Texans offense, and Richardson leads a Colts squad that will be without arguably their best player, running back Jonathan Taylor.

Young was selected out of the University of Alabama by the Panthers with the first pick in this year’s draft, followed by Stroud being selected second overall by the Texans out of Ohio State; then, a couple of choices later, the former Gators QB Richardson was selected fourth overall by the Colts.
Young had a tremendous career at Alabama, including becoming second all-time in passing yards in school history, a Heisman trophy win in 2021, and multiple stints on the All-SEC team. As for Stroud, the California-born baller contributed tremendously in his two seasons as the Buckeyes QB1, including an overly impressive performance in the 2022 College Football Playoff in which he threw four touchdowns and 348 yards in a 42-41 loss against one of the all-time great college football defenses in the 2022-23 National Champion Georgia Bulldogs. As for Richardson, in his lone season as the full-time Florida Gators starting quarterback, he was imposing as he finished the 2022 season with seventeen touchdowns through the air, nine touchdowns on the ground, and 2,549 passing yards.
Young will begin his career facing off against the Atlanta Falcons, while Stroud will start off against a well-coached Ravens group; as for Richardson, the youngster will be the lone one of this group to start his career at home as he and the Colts face off against division rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I hope people will realize and understand that Bryce Young is human and he will make mistakes as a Panther.
No matter how he does on the field in his rookie year, you need to be with him 100% through the good times and the bad times. #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/PZ4nMOhxec
