After only two first-round picks at quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft , the 2026 NFL draft is expected to have a lot more exciting options. Several already stand out -- Cade Klubnik (Clemson), LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina), Drew Allar (Penn State) and Garrett Nussmeier (LSU) jump to mind -- and that doesn't even include ballyhooed Texas sophomore Arch Manning , who has started just two college games.
While Manning might stay in college until 2027, I'm going to group him in with the top 22 draft-eligible passers below. I'll also answer a couple of questions about NFL teams that might be taking a long look at these signal-callers. Players in each section are listed in alphabetical order.
