The 2020 quarterback draft class is well on its way to being the highest-paid group of QBs from any draft in NFL history. The quintet of quarterbacks taken in the top two rounds four years ago also has a chance at being the most prolific.

With Tua Tagovailoa and Jordan Love being the final two quarterbacks to cash in on big-money extensions just hours apart on Friday, the five QBs taken in the first two rounds four years ago have agreed to contracts in a span of less than 16 months that are worth more than $1.2 billion.

No. 1 pick Joe Burrow signed the richest one last summer when Cincinnati gave him a five-year, $275 million deal that included a $40 million signing bonus. That deal topped the one from earlier last summer when the Los Angeles Chargers gave No. 6 pick Justin Herbert a five-year $262.5 million deal.

Second-rounder Jalen Hurts, who was picked 53rd overall in 2020, was the first from the class to get rewarded when he got a five-year $255 million extension in April — less than three months after leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl appearance.

Tagovailoa, the fifth pick four years ago, and Love, the 20th selection, finished it off on Friday. Miami gave Tagovailoa a four-year, $212.4 million deal and the Packers gave Love a four-year, $220 million deal after making just 18 career regular-season starts.

The QBs from that class now have five of the 12 richest contracts handed out in NFL history and should be in position to cash in again if they keep playing at the high level they have achieved so far in their young careers.

The performance of these QBs stands in stark contrast to the quintet of quarterbacks taken with the top 15 picks the following season. Four of those quarterbacks were jettisoned by their original teams before finishing out their rookie deals with No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence the only one to get a big extension with a five-year $275 million contract from Jacksonville earlier this offseason.

While the quarterbacks from the 2020 class have yet to win a Super Bowl, an MVP or earn first-team All-Pro honors, they have all performed at a high level as part of the rare quarterback draft class with a perfect hit rate in the top two rounds.

Despite Love not getting a chance to start until last season, and Burrow and Tagovailoa missing significant time because of injuries, the group has been the most prolific statistically through four seasons of any class of QBs taken in the top two rounds.
