There’s nothing wrong with a little self-confidence, especially at the quarterback position. But some guys took it to another level—treating the mirror like a second huddle and spending just as much time fixing their hair as reading defenses.
These quarterbacks loved the spotlight almost as much as they loved throwing touchdowns. Whether it was perfectly styled hair, designer suits, or a flair for drama, these signal-callers made vanity part of their game plan.
10. Jimmy Garoppolo
If there were a Hall of Fame for jawlines, Jimmy G would be a first-ballot lock. His on-field play was solid, but his sideline smirks and perfectly gelled hair got just as much attention.
9. Joe Namath
Broadway Joe basically invented the swagger era for quarterbacks. He wore fur coats, posed in pantyhose, and still found time to win a Super Bowl.
8. Cam Newton
Cam’s pre- and post-game outfits often turned more heads than his highlight reel. He had MVP-level talent and fashion week-level confidence.
7. Tony Romo
Romo always had a bit of that pretty boy charm, even when throwing back-breaking interceptions. Whether it was dating celebs or flashing that toothpaste-commercial smile, the mirror clearly got a workout.
6. Baker Mayfield
Baker walked into the league like it was his own personal stage. The headbands, commercials, and walk-off interviews all screamed, “Look at me,” even when the stats said otherwise.
5. Josh Rosen
Rosen looked the part, acted the part, and definitely believed the part—he just forgot to actually be the part. His confidence in front of cameras was never in doubt, even when his starting job was.
4. Mark Sanchez
From GQ spreads to sideline poses, Sanchez had a brand—even if the “Butt Fumble” tried to ruin it. He never lacked self-belief, even when the Jets were in full chaos mode.
3. Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers’ playbook knowledge is elite, but his love of the spotlight has been equally strong. Whether it’s dramatic interviews or cryptic style choices, he seems to relish his role as the main character.
2. Tom Brady
TB12 turned vanity into a business model, with kale smoothies and cheekbones sharp enough to cut glass. He may be the GOAT, but he also might’ve spent more time in front of a mirror than some runway models.

1. Joe Burrow
Burrow has swagger that borders on cinematic. From the Cartier shades to the icy chains, he’s quarterbacking like he’s auditioning for the next James Bond reboot.
