Which school has had the most QBs drafted in all of college football since 2001? In other words, which school is the Quarterback U of the new millenium? I'll give you a hint.... nevermind, no I won't.
Booty, Davey, Nall & Mauck since 2001. Great QBs with Louisiana ties: Y.A. Tittle Terry Bradshaw - 4 Superbowls Joe Fergason Bert Jones Jake DelHomme - took Carolina to Superbowl Doug Williams - won Superbowl with the Redskins David Woodley - took Dolphins to Superbowl Current 49ers starter Tim Rattay played at Louisiana Tech after his junior college stint for the Scottsdale Commuity College Fighting Artichokes. Major Applewhite from Baton Rouge might have taken Texas a lot farther if he hadn't been benched by Mack Brown in favor of Chrissy Simms.
Not to be added to the Great QB list, but the serviceable QB list who have had long NFL careers are Doug Pederson and Stan Humphries. Anyone of us would have loved to be Brett Favre's backup for 10 years... :hihi:
Don't forget Tom Hodson, James Harris, Bobby Hebert......and the man who pegged the ego-meter, John Fourcade:grin:
I would have put Peyton Manning on the list because he was born in New Orleans but I forgot about him.
Back in the 70's there were several Louisiana guys starting in the NFL at the same time. Let's see if I can rmember them. 1. Bert Jones 2. Joe Ferguson 3.Terry Bradshaw 4. James Harris 5. David Woodley Not certain if Doug Williams was in with this group but he close. That's pretty damn good when you consider how small LA is compared to the other states. And several others were back ups at the same time, guys like Fourcade, Weese, another guy that transfered from LSU but I cannot remember his nae for the life of me right now.
