In American football, the starting quarterback is typically viewed as the leader of a team.[1] The quarterback is considered the most important position on the field and among the most important positions in team sports.[2][3] They are among the most high-profile athletes in North America and have been described as akin to A-list celebrities.[4] The success of an American football team often rests on the quarterback; thus, teams will go to great lengths to find a franchise quarterback to build around for the long-term goals of the team.[5] This page contains the lists of starting quarterbacks for the eight current XFL teams.
