NFL QB tiers: Where former Browns QBs rank versus current Cleveland QBs
Quarterbacks are always the talk of the town. With Mike Sando’s QB tiers out, two former Cleveland Browns QBs are ranked
The NFL quarterback tier rankings released by Mike Sando provide an interesting look at the current state of the quarterback position in the league. Two former Cleveland Browns quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett, make an appearance on the list, offering some insight into their respective careers and future prospects.
Baker Mayfield, currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, shares 14th place with Sam Darnold in the second tier. Mayfield's career has been marked by its ups and downs, making the upcoming 2026 season crucial for him to prove his worth for a top-tier contract. Brissett, the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, is placed near the bottom of the veteran starters in the NFL, ranking lower than both Watson and Sanders.
The rankings also bring attention to recent first-round picks, Michael Penix Jr. and JJ McCarthy. Both have been ranked at the bottom of the list, which may raise concerns for the Cleveland Browns if they were to draft a quarterback early in the draft in the future. It remains to be seen if these rankings will surprise fans or influence future decisions for the Browns or other teams in the league.
