If Deshaun Watson didn’t already have enough quarterback competition in the star-studded AFC, he must now try to get past one of the best of all time in Aaron Rodgers, who was traded Monday to the Jets.
As it is, Watson will have a tough enough time winning the AFC North, let alone the AFC. If Lamar Jackson plays for the Ravens this season, he’ll be as tough as ever with the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. and whomever they add in the draft. Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow is still just hitting his stride, and the Steelers can never be counted out, even with a young QB in Kenny Pickett.
With two-time Super Bowl and NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes headlining the AFC, the bar is set at superstar, and everyone else must try to match his superhuman feats. Watson has the arm talent and athleticism to make the same kinds of plays, but will be learning a retooled scheme and new personnel in his first full season with the Browns.
All the cool kids are hanging out in the AFC these days, including Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa and Jimmy Garoppolo. The road to the Super Bowl will undoubtedly be filled with highlight-reel QB performances. Rodgers, with a significantly upgraded receiving corps in New York, should be able to hit the ground running in his 19th NFL season, even at the age of 39. The Jets, who drafted former Ohio State receiver Garrett Wilson No. 10 overall last year and also have Corey Davis and Denzel Mims, signed Rodgers’ former Packers receiver Allen Lazard, and former Chiefs speedster Mecole Hardman. They also have the No.
