2024 NFL Draft QB Tracker: Who belongs with J.J. McCarthy, Jayden Daniels in Heisman race?

The Heisman Trophy shouldn’t be a quarterback-only honor. With all that in mind, here’s how I’d bucket the quarterbacks in the Heisman conversation, if the season ended today: Finalists Jayden Daniels, LSU: 2,573 yards, 30 TDs, 3 INTs, 73.1 percent completions, 521 rushing yards J.J. McCarthy, Michigan: 1,799 yards, 21 TDs, 3 INTs, 78.1 percent completions, 3 rushing TDs Vegas has this pair at the top — Daniels is tied with Penix for the second-best odds behind McCarthy. Still in the debate Michael Penix Jr., Washington: 2,576 yards, 20 TDs, 5 INTs, 70.8 percent completions Bo Nix, Oregon: 2,089 yards, 21 TDs, 1 INT, 78.4 percent completions Dillon Gabriel, Oklahoma: 2,131 yards, 24 TDs, 3 INTs, 71.2 percent completions, 5 rushing TDs Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss: 1,840 yards, 19 TDs, 3 INTs, 65.8 percent completions This isn’t an overreaction to Penix’s poor day versus Arizona State late Saturday night, just more a reflection of what’s been realistic all year. Outside looking in Quinn Ewers, Texas: 1,915 yards, 18 TDs, 3 INTs, 70.9 percent completions, 5 rushing TDs Caleb Williams, USC: 2,277 yards, 30 TDs, 4 INTs, 70.0 percent completions, 7 rushing TDs Jordan Travis, Florida State: 1,750 yards, 20 TDs, 2 INTs, 65.1 percent completions, 5 rushing TDs Drake Maye, North Carolina: 2,249 yards, 19 TDs, 5 INTs, 65.4 percent completions, 5 rushing TDs This ranking might be unfair to Ewers, who’s likely still in the Heisman discussion — and certainly would be there with a strong finish, although he’s now dealing with a shoulder injury suffered Saturday.
