Young quarterbacks have been the dominant storyline of the 2013 season. Of the 12 NFL playoff teams, six start quarterbacks that are either in their first or second year. The days of needing an established veteran at the quarterback position may be over. Of those five young starting quarterbacks, three are African-American.

Rookies Robert Griffin, III and Russell Wilson played each other in the premier wildcard game last weekend, with the Washington Redskins losing to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon. 49er QB Colin Kaepernick will play the Green Bay Packers Saturday.
