Some quarterbacks throw bombs, others scramble like magicians, but a select few just seem like they’d be the best hang. Whether it’s their chill vibe, goofy interviews, or undeniable charm, these are the guys you’d want at your cookout, game night, or spontaneous road trip.
Here are the 15 NFL quarterbacks everyone secretly (or not-so-secretly) wants to be friends with.
15. Derek Carr

He’s the guy who’d help you move without complaining — and then stay to grill burgers in the backyard. Chill, dependable, and somehow always in a good mood.
14. Justin Herbert

He’s got quiet genius energy and seems like the kind of guy who’d help you with your fantasy team and never brag. Bonus points for the hair and laid-back SoCal vibes.
13. Jalen Hurts

Cool, collected, and always about the team — you just know he’d give great advice without making it weird. He’s got best friend energy with a side of “I’ll hype you up no matter what.”
12. Jared Goff

He’s got that goofy older-brother vibe who’s always down to play Mario Kart and laugh at his own bad jokes. Feels like he’d be the glue guy of any friend group.
11. CJ Stroud

Instantly likable, shockingly mature, and the kind of guy who brings good vibes wherever he goes. You want him at your poker night and your grandma’s birthday.
10. Russell Wilson

Say what you will, but Russ is endlessly optimistic and would probably bring snacks to every hangout. He’s the friend who texts motivational quotes… and somehow, you’re okay with it.
9. Lamar Jackson

Effortlessly cool and always authentic, Lamar seems like the friend who hypes you up without even trying. Whether you’re gaming, joking around, or just chilling, he’s the guy who keeps the good vibes flowing.
8. Dak Prescott

He’s charismatic, loyal, and seems like he’d absolutely defend you in a group chat argument. That friend who shows up early and stays late — and brings good snacks.
7. Jordan Love

Humble, easygoing, and always rocking a relaxed vibe. You get the feeling he’d never flake on plans and would be first in line to split the check.
6. Patrick Mahomes

Funny, weirdly relatable despite being a superstar, and always seems like he’s having fun. Plus, being friends with Mahomes probably comes with access to some very cool parties.
5. Kirk Cousins

You like that? Yeah, we do. Kirk feels like your friend’s dad who turns out to be way more fun than expected and randomly drops a fire playlist at a BBQ.
4. Josh Allen

Big golden retriever energy in human form. You just know hanging out with him involves bad jokes, way too much food, and a Nerf football flying through your living room.
3. Trevor Lawrence

Sunshine hair, calm energy, and an effortlessly chill vibe. He’s the type who’d show up in flip-flops, stay too long, and still somehow be everyone’s favorite guest.
