There’s something about a good-looking quarterback that hits differently. Whether it’s the swagger on the field, the commercial deals off it, or the fact that they always seem to have perfectly tousled hair post-game, these QBs knew precisely how to use their looks to their advantage.
Some were cover models, others became household names beyond the sport, and a few became the face of every product imaginable. One thing they all had in common? They turned charm and a solid jawline into a brand.
15. Josh Rosen

He didn’t have a long NFL run, but he sure looked good while it lasted. Rosen brought Ivy League vibes and model energy every time he stepped off the bus.
14. Jimmy Clausen

He didn’t exactly take over the league, but his bleach-blonde hair and movie-star looks had people talking. Clausen looked more like a soap opera lead than a backup QB.
13. Mark Sanchez

He might be remembered for the wrong plays, but his face never took a hit. Sanchez leaned into the heartthrob image, especially during his time in New York.
12. Jordan Love

Still making a name for himself on the field, but his face card never declines. The Packers’ new franchise guy has the bone structure of a men’s skincare commercial.
11. Tony Romo

America’s favorite Dallas quarterback came with dimples and a charming smirk. Even in retirement, he’s thriving on TV and still cashing in on that smile.
10. Christian Ponder

His NFL career didn’t make headlines, but marrying a sports reporter and keeping a polished image sure did. Ponder gave off “well-groomed CEO” energy from the jump.
9. Trevor Lawrence

That flowing blonde hair launched a thousand TikToks. Lawrence entered the league already looking like the main character in a high school drama.
8. Matthew Stafford

Don’t let the gruff exterior fool you—Stafford’s got strong dad-energy looks that grew on fans over time. The Super Bowl helped, but so did the camera-friendly smirk.
7. Jesse Palmer

He was a backup quarterback and a Bachelor at the same time, which tells you everything you need to know. Palmer turned his good looks into a full-blown media career.
6. Justin Herbert

Laid-back surfer vibes with a touch of GQ. Herbert quietly became one of the league’s most marketable young stars—and not just for his arm.
5. Brock Purdy

They call him “Mr. Irrelevant,” but his All-American smile says otherwise. Purdy has quickly become a fan favorite, both for his play and his wholesome good looks.
4. Tom Brady

The gold standard of good-looking quarterbacks. From runway appearances to luxury endorsements, Brady mastered the art of being handsome and clutch.
3. Joe Burrow

He brought swagger, style, and a whole lot of thirst traps to the QB position. Burrow knows he’s cool—and somehow pulls off every look with ease.

1. Dan Marino

Before it was trendy, Marino was doing Isotoner commercials and lighting up the screen with that classic 80s charm. He made being a QB and a cover guy look effortless.
