#101 Overall, Ryan Tannehill, Free Agent, #15 Quarterback
2023 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #122. Peak Period: 2013-15/2019-20
Tannehill never felt any Hall of Fame potential in Miami, but with Tennessee, he has become a complete package and a Pro Bowler. As quickly as the perception changed and shifted back, in 2023, he was injured, lost his job to Will Levis, and is now a free agent going into 2024. This is not a Hall of Fame run, but that peak with the Titans placed him on a map that looked unattainable at one point.
#79 Overall, Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons, #10 Quarterback
2023 Pre-Season Rank #61, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #87, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #121. Peak Period: 2016-20
Kirk Cousins' run with Minnesota has far surpassed what he did in Washington, with three of his four Pro Bowls coming as a Viking. However, it ended with an injury-plagued season. Nevertheless, Cousins is rapidly approaching 40,000 Yards (39,471) and has 270 Touchdown Passes, so the career numbers are decent, but clearly, he needs more.
For that to happen, it will have to be as an Atlanta Falcon, the team that signed him and took Michael Penix Jr. in the First Round. That leaves him with a cloud hanging over him to begin 2024, and Cousins has to win a ring to have any serious Hall of Fame consideration.
#38 Overall, Stefon Diggs, Houston Texans, #6 Wide Receiver
2023 Pre-Season Rank #48, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #57, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #118. Peak Period 2019-23
After five good years with Minnesota, many pundits wondered how Diggs would perform in Buffalo, but they need not have worried. Diggs blended perfectly with Quarterback Josh Allen, winning his first Receiving Yards Title in his first season with the Bills. Diggs was a Pro Bowl Selection in all four seasons in Western New York.
This year, he joins a loaded Houston Texans team and is five yards away from the magical 10,000 number.
#70 Overall, Brandon Scherff, Jacksonville Jaguars, Right Guard, #11 Offensive Lineman
2023 Pre-Season Rank #88, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #91, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #117. Peak Period 2016-17/2019-21
A five-time Pro Bowl selection with Washington, Brandon Scherff is entering his third season in Jacksonville, where he has been solid, but not quite at Pro Bowl level. At age 33, he still has time but has to earn a few more post-season accolades.
