Could the 2018 NFL Draft’s QB Class Be the Greatest Ever—and What It Means for the Future of the NFL?
Darnold benefited the most from better coaching and weapons with the Vikings. It also helped that Minnesotaâs defense consistency kept them in games throughout the year even when the offense sputtered. In turn, Darnold has utilized the skills he was known for in college and sparsely in the NFL while posting career highs in completion rate, passing yards, passing touchdowns and passer rating.
Mayfield, meanwhile, polished his game immensely with the Buccaneers. His career-high 71.4 completion percentage and 86.8 well-thrown percentage both ranked third in the NFL this year, and both were major improvements on his 2023 campaign and much better than his most-recent previous full season as a starter in 2020.
