Keyshawn Johnson ranks Aaron Rodgers among the top five quarterbacks in the NFL

Aaron Rodgers is a top five quarterback in the NFL this fall according to Keyshawn Johnson.

Keyshawn Johnson apparently takes exception to where New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is placed among the ranking of NFL quarterbacks.

In the ESPN ranking of top quarterbacks released on Monday, Rodgers came in at No. 8. The survey was done of top league executives and scouts.

The top three on the list were Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen.

On the FS1 show ‘Undisputed’ on Monday, Johnson unveiled his top 10. The former Jets wide receiver had Mahomes as his top quarterback but then slid Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson into the second spot. Burrows was third.

Rodgers was fifth, with Dak Prescott right in front of him.

The full list from Johnson as he released it on FS1:

  1. Patrick Mahomes
  2. Lamar Jackson
  3. Joe Burrow
  4. Dak Prescott
  5. Aaron Rodgers
  6. Josh Allen
  7. Brock Purdy
  8. Jalen Hurts
  9. Matthew Stafford
  10. Jared Goff

The list from Johnson and ESPN would indicate the potential impact for the Jets that a healthy Rodgers can have this season.

With a defense projected to be top-three in the NFL, getting solid quarterback play could and should get the Jets into the playoffs.
