QB Roundup: How did your favorite 2026 NFL Draft quarterback play in Week 4?

We are now four weeks in, and now all but one big named quarterback has a chartable game played (cough cough Drew Allar). So how did the 2026 NFL Draft crop of quarterbacks look in Week 4?

From Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza to Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson, the 2026 NFL Draft class was plastered with big games in Week 4 of college football.

The box scores are out there for public consumption. Guys like Mendoza, Robertson, Oklahoma’s John Mateer, TCU’s Josh Hoover, and more had big-time matchups. But how did the tape look? How did the ball placement and accuracy check out when putting each of the quarterbacks under a microscope and charting them?

That’s what we are taking a look at in this week’s quarterback roundup. While names like Alabama’s Ty Simpson and Penn State’s Drew Allar were among the quarterbacks who did not play this weekend, others did that will not appear here as well. This is the weekly reminder that I will only be charting Power Four vs. Power Four matchups for the bigger quarterbacks in the class.

Some of the 2026 NFL Draft quarterbacks who fall into the category of playing unchartable games in Week 4 include:

  • Arkansas’ Taylen Green vs. Memphis (lucky for him)

  • LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier vs. SE Louisiana

  • Oregon’s Dante Moore vs. Oregon State

I’ve also decided to punt on a couple of the younger quarterbacks for the time being as well. Those quarterbacks include Michigan State’s Aidan Chiles and Arizona State’s Sam Leavitt.

So, let’s talk about the quarterbacks who were charted this week and how they looked in Week 4 through a contextualized lens:
