List of current NFL starting quarterbacks

Last updated

In American football, the starting quarterback is considered to be among the most important positions in sports. [1] [2] [3] They are among the most high-profile athletes in North America and are typically viewed as the team's leader. [4] The success of a National Football League (NFL) franchise often rests on the quarterback; thus, teams will go to great lengths to find a franchise quarterback to build around. [5]

List

Note: The players listed here are the starting quarterbacks of each team's most recently played game (Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season) and may not reflect roster changes made since that time. Because of this, quarterbacks that have been announced as replacement due to injury or otherwise are not included until they make their start. Changes may be made in time for Thursday Night Football.
