Ten Black Starting QBs Make History on Opening Weekend

Ten Black quarterbacks will start on the opening weekend of the 2020 season, the most Black QBs to start in an opening week in NFL history.
Historically, Black quarterbacks have been victims of racist stereotypes that have thwarted the number of opportunities provided to these talented players.
One could argue that today marks a level of progress in the NFL than the performative social and racial justice messages that the league has implemented, like the social justice messages in the end zone and singing Lift Every Voice and Sing before every game.
The quarterbacks making history today are as follows:
Teddy Bridgewater - Carolina Panthers
Dwayne Haskins - Washington Football Team
Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens
Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals
Cam Newton - New England Patriots
Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys
Tyrod Taylor - Los Angeles Chargers
Deshaun Watson - Houston Texans
Russell Wilson - Seattle Seahawks
There is obviously still a long way to go to achieve true unity and equality, but this milestone is a step in the right direction.
