4. Patrick Mahomes

Team(s): Kansas City Chiefs

2021 Stats: 4,839 YDS, 37 TD, 13 INT, 66.3 CMP%, 98.5 QB Rating

This is where it gets difficult to rank the top quarterbacks in the NFL, as these top four options are some of the best players in the NFL as well as a few of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.

That said, one of those quarterbacks is the Kansas City Chiefs MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes threw for 4,839 passing yards to go along with 37 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Brady finished the season leading the NFL in passing yards (5,316) and passing touchdowns (43). In addition to those numbers, Brady posted a QBR rating of 68.1 good enough for second in the NFL and a 102.1 rating to land him at number seven among all NFL quarterbacks. 

1. Aaron Rodgers

Team(s): Green Bay Packers
