The new Beatles song ‘Now and Then’ got us thinking about NFL quarterbacks
Today is November 2, 2023.
And The Beatles released a new song, “Now and Then.”
You read that right.
Putting aside the implications of AI-enhanced music for a moment, the event got us thinking: Could we come up with a Beatles song for all 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL?
As it turns out, we could. Sure we listed Aaron Rodgers as the current starting quarterback for the New York Jets — although we think you’ll forgive us in a minute when you see the song choice — but sure enough, we came together and came up with a list.
If you’re looking to listen along, we have a Spotify playlist for you here.
