I have now written an article on each of the "top 3" quarterbacks in this draft. Here's how I would rank them:
1a) Caleb Williams:
1b) Drake Maye:
3) Jayden Daniels:

Taylor Heinicke finished last night's game with a 92.0 overall grade. That is the highest single-game grade
@PFF
has given to a Washington QB in nearly 14 years.
Just an incredible performance from a guy who was picked up off the streets a month ago.

Chase Young finished Sunday's game with a 93.7 overall grade which is the highest grade of his career.
5 total pressures, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 3 defensive stops. DROY.

Washington was the only defense with two players in the top 15. Best duo in the league?

Chase Young in his first career game had an 86.5 overall grade with 4 pressures, 2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles.

I took a closer look at Dwayne Haskins' PFF numbers from his starts this year and it's pretty exciting to see where he ranks among rookies.
From Weeks 9-17:
- Passing grade: 73.3 (1st)
- Big-time throws: 8 (2nd)
- Turnover-worthy plays: 3 (1st)

Over the last 4 games, Jonathan Allen's 91.3 overall grade is the highest among all interior defensive lineman in the NFL.
Despite having only 1 sack during that span, he is constantly affecting the QB.

Sam Howell has dropped back to pass 236 times, the most in the NFL, and has the 6th highest adjusted completion % at 79.8%.
EB has thrown him directly in the deep end to start the season and I love it. The best way for him to learn is to not baby him and see what he can do

This is such a good play by Kam Curl. Recognizes the screen, works around the guard and makes a beautiful tackle.
Curl finished the game with a 74.4 coverage grade which was the 2nd highest on the team,

Washington has already won the Super Bowl this year. Anything else that happens is just icing on the cake

I think we need to start keeping track of a stat called forced INTs for pass rushers because Chase Young did it again.
He forces Jones to just chuck the ball up in the air and then Kendall Fuller makes an incredible catch. Also, stop trying to block him with a TE, it won't work.

Derrius Guice had a 90.9 overall grade yesterday (on only 19 snaps) which was by far the highest of his career.
He had 116 yards AFTER contact. That was the most among all RBs in Week 13 and he did that on only 10 attempts.

Ryan Kerrigan continues to be one of the most underrated players in the NFL. He bullies La'el Collins on this play for the sack.

A couple things I noticed from Jeremy Reaves last Thursday was his ability to recognize plays and communicate.
The first example of this is a screen he knows is coming. Dalton signals to his WR and Reaves recognizes it, tells Curl allowing him to sell out to make the tackle.

This play is actually pretty awesome because Howell somehow recognizes the coverage bust from the Patriots while running the opposite way. Then the arm strength to throw it is even more impressive. There’s weirdly little to no danger in this throw
I get that this is a no-no, but if Mahomes did this every analyst in the country would be screaming about it all day today. This is Mahomesian. And look, Pringle is wide open. Low risk throw.

There were plenty of struggles throughout his rookie season but there were also a lot of bright spots to build off of. His grades as a backup and starter reflect that:
