All-NFC North Team: Quarterbacks

The NFC North division is expected to be one of the best in football in 2024. Each team boasts specific strengths and has realistic aspirations of competing for a division title.

All teams will be chasing the Detroit Lions, who are the reigning division champs led by quarterback Jared Goff. Green Bay returns Jordan Love after a strong finish to his first campaign as a starter, while both Chicago and Minnesota could be sporting rookie passers by season's end.

After extensive voting conducted by analysts covering each team in the division, Goff finished with top honors. He has excelled for the Lions' since Ben Johnson took over the offensive coordinator position. Though Love generated plenty of buzz throughout his performance over the second-half of the season, Goff was ultimately tabbed as the leader for the All-NFC North Team.

Here is where each NFC North team stands at quarterback, with analysis from each team's beat writers.

Jared Goff

The emergence of Goff has been a welcome surprise for Lions fans. After beginning his tenure believed to be a bridge to the future, the veteran has revitalized his career and taken the reins of the franchise. He was rewarded for leading the team to the NFC Championship game with a hefty contract extension. 

Still just 29 years old, Goff is now piloting the team through its Super Bowl window. The pressure will be on to win right away, but the passer has proven he can do what it takes to do so. Detroit has built a strong offense around him, so he has the necessary weapons to succeed. 

Goff has played at a high level over the past two seasons and was in the top five in the league in both passing yards and touchdowns last season. His timing on passes and ball security have both been greatly improved since his first season in Detroit, which allows the Lions to thrive.

The Lions have their core foundation in place heading into a pivotal 2024 season. GM Brad Holmes has not been shy about his confidence in Goff since acquiring him in 2021, and that confidence has since been rewarded. —
