It's a quarterback-driven league; this is no secret. And it's a huge part of why Joe Burrow is in the Super Bowl in just his 2nd season, and why the other Super Bowl participants the last two years have gotten there, as well. These are the guys to go all out to get on your roster.

Looking at passing stats since Burrow entered the league, he's been one of the league's most productive quarterbacks from the get-go. Among quarterbacks who've started at least half the time the last two seasons, only four have thrown for more yards per game than Burrow. Only nine have thrown more touchdowns per game.

Right behind Burrow in yard per game over that timeframe is the other Super Bowl quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Two of three quarterbacks ahead of him were last year's Super Bowl participants, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Maybe next year we'll get Dak Prescott versus Justin Herbert (No. 2 and 4 on this list)? Dare to dream. (Data from pro-football-reference.com was used in compiling this table.)
