Trey Lance has taken five snaps. It beats getting booed.
The five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft are a combined 1-5 as starters through two weeks, with the lone victory coming against another rookie quarterback — Mac Jones’ Patriots defeated Zach Wilson’s Jets on Sunday.
Here’s how the five rookie quarterbacks have fared:
Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars
The top pick has five interceptions through two games, both losses. After throwing for 332 yards and three touchdowns in his debut at Houston, the Clemson alum threw for 118 yards Sunday against Denver. It is the 19th time in Jaguars history the team has failed to top 200 yards of offense. He has completed 50% of his passes.
Zach Wilson, Jets
The No. 2 overall pick, who threw four interceptions Sunday against the Patriots, was booed after overthrowing a receiver in the fourth quarter. “They should be booing, right?” Wilson said after the game. “We didn’t play well on offense.” The BYU alum didn’t complete a pass until the second quarter. “It’s on my shoulders,” said the quarterback, who has taken 10 sacks in two games. “I’ve got to do better.”

Lance threw a touchdown pass in his lone pass attempt, and he has a 127.1 QB rating to show for it. After taking five snaps in Week 1, the No. 3 pick out of North Dakota State didn’t get off the bench in Week 2.
Justin Fields, Bears
Fields, who took four snaps in Week 1, spelled Andy Dalton in Week 2 after the starter left late in the second quarter with a knee injury. Fields showed his dual-threat ability, rushing 10 times (31 yards) and attempting 13 passes (six completions for 60 yards). “I’m just anxious to see what I messed up on and what I have to do better,“ Fields said. “I didn’t play well in my eyes.”
Mac Jones, Patriots
The No. 15 pick has been the most consistent of the rookies, completing 73.9 percent of his passes with no interceptions. The Alabama alum has just one touchdown, however, and his longest pass is 32 yards.
