Weigman remains atop SEC QBR standings after season-ending injury

Conner Weigman, the Texas A&M sophomore slinger, is 4th in ESPN’s QBR for the season, but a foot injury has ended his 2023 season.

For the third consecutive week, every quarterback in the SEC is looking up at Texas A&M‘s Conner Weigman in the QBR standings.

The sophomore star earned his lowest grade of the season against Auburn, only a 26.5, but it wouldn’t be fair to hold such a small sample size against him. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 70 yards before a foot injury in the second quarter ended his afternoon. Only Wednesday, it was revealed the injury would end his season as well.

The Aggies turned to Max Johnson in his wake, who excelled in his own right. His sample size is too small to be included until next week, but he earned a 96.2 after completing 7 of 11 passes for more than 10 yards per attempt.

Behind Weigman, the field has condensed considerably. LSU‘s Jayden Daniels looked like the man who won the SEC West a year ago in Weeks 2 and 3, but he condensed to the field after a rough-and-tumble fight with Arkansas. And after two sterling games and enough of a first half to make Georgia sweat, is Spencer Rattler becoming what was promised?

Here are the QBR standings in the SEC.
