Which SEC quarterbacks are the best in each category?

In today’s game, it is all about the quarterbacks. Without a top-notch quarterback at the collegiate level, it is hard to compete at a high level. Not impossible but when you get into a precarious situation, it is usually the quarterback’s play that can be the difference in a win or a loss.

The SEC is now different. A conference once known for its punishing defenses and running game has moved towards the vertical game of attacking defenses through the air. Current LSU starter Jayden Daniels is enjoying a career year after transferring from Arizona State.

Over the years we have seen gunslingers such as Joe Burrow, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, and Bryce Young rip apart defenses and give defensive coordinators fits on gameday.

We break down the top quarterbacks in each category, how does Daniels stack up with the SEC’s elite?
