Westendorf argues ESPN's panel was wrong to leave Jordan Love out of the top 10 quarterbacks, saying Love is better than Caleb Williams, Jared Goff, Drake Maye, Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert. He also thinks Tucker Kraft is a top-three tight end if he plays a full season and can see Christian Watson reaching 1,000 receiving yards.
“As of right now, today, 07/16/2026, Caleb Williams is not better than Jordan Love, neither is Jared Goff, neither is Drake May, and I think the other one on that list was Justin Herbert, neither is Justin Herbert.”

Christian Watson to record 1,000 receiving yards
