It’s been two weeks since one of the biggest stories of the NFL offseason thus far hit the AFC West when the Denver Broncos sent a huge package of players and draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks for star quarterback Russell Wilson.

The move was a bombshell and affect is still being soaked in around the division. Wilson’s arrival means the AFC West is stacked with stellar quarterback play. All four teams have superior quarterbacks with Wilson joining Kansas City Chiefs’ star Patrick Mahomes, the Las Vegas Raiders’ Derek Carr and Los Angeles Chargers’ young stud Justin Herbert.

How good is this group as a foursome? Historically good, thank you very much. Check out this stat:

The entire league can’t wait to see how this division plays out in 2022. It’s simply going to be wild with the outrageous quarterback talent at the forefront.
