He can deliver accurate balls consistently to every level of the field.

Crosby shined in 2022 for the Jaguars and should have another outstanding year in 2023. He does a good job stepping up in the pocket to make throws on the money over 20 yards. Crosby is tough as nails and willing to take a hit in order to move the chains for this team. His accuracy and ability to diagnose what a defense is throwing at him are both elite.

Dearden can rifle passes into tight windows over the middle of the field. He does an excellent job fading away from pressure to buy his receivers time to get open. Dearden excels at taking what the defense gives him and can move the chains with his legs in addition to his arm.
