Colts' Daniel Jones briefly mentioned in top QB rankings for 2026
· Yahoo Sports
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler compiled his ranking of the NFL's top quarterbacks entering the 2026 season and briefly mentioned was the Indianapolis Colts' Daniel Jones.
What makes Fowler's rankings unique is that they are constructed with the input of 70 NFL execs, coaches, and scouts as the voters. Other elements, such as research, interviews, and film analysis by Matt Bowen, factor in as well.

With all of that taken into account, Fowler then puts together the top 10, highlights a few honorable mentions, and notes which players received votes.
Jones was among the three quarterbacks in the 'receiving votes' category, which means that at least one voter had him ranked in the top 10, although we do not know the specifics.
Can Daniel Jones replicate last season's early success?
This is the big question. Through 10 games, the Colts were 8-2 and one of the hottest offenses in football, led by Jones, who was among the most productive quarterbacks during that stretch. Basically, pick a passing category, and there was a good chance that Jones was ranked near the top.
Unfortunately, an Achilles injury ended Jones' season early. But even before that point, defenses began slowing down the Colts' offense. However, because of the season-ending injury, we never truly got to see how Jones and Shane Steichen were going to counter.
The Colts re-signed Jones this offseason to a two-year, $88 million deal, believing that last season's successes can be replicated in 2026.
With training camp near, Jones recently said that he is "cleared to do everything," as he continues through the rehab process.
