Three quarterbacks were selected before the Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love in 2020: Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Justin Herbert.
Joe Burrow went first overall to the Cincinnati Bengals and has since thrown for 14,083 yards and 97 touchdowns through four seasons in the league. The former LSU Tiger led the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI, but Cincinnati lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 23-20.
The Miami Dolphins selected Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall, who is coming off his best season to date. During his 2023 campaign, Tagovailoa threw for 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns.
Lastly, Justin Herbert was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers sixth, who saw his best numbers come during the 2021 season, where he hit 5,014 yards passing along with 38 touchdowns. Jim Harbaugh will make his Chargers head coaching debut during the 2024 season and look to help Herbert return to his 2021 form.'
