Sorry if it sounds a bit offbeat, but can someone tell me which college has the most current starting quarterbacks in the NFL? I'm really interested in football and aim to become a quarterback, so it will help me decide where I might wanna play!
Sure, this is a fun question! To find the colleges that produce the most NFL starting quarterbacks, you'd want to look at a couple of things.
First, which colleges have sent quarterbacks to the NFL generally. As of the 2023 football season, the schools most frequently touted as "Quarterback U" for supplying QBs to the NFL predominantly include Stanford, USC (University of Southern California), and the University of California, Berkeley (Cal). Alabama and Clemson have also had a good number of quarterbacks in the NFL recently.
However, another aspect to consider is which colleges have successful quarterback programs that develop players' skills so they not only make it to the NFL, but become starting quarterbacks. This is a more nuanced and dynamic statistic as players' positions can change from season to season. As of recent seasons, schools like Oklahoma, Michigan, and Texas Tech have had multiple alumni as starting quarterbacks in the NFL.
Ultimately, the best choice will also heavily depend on factors like the coaching staff, the style of the program, how well you fit into that style, and your overall academics and college fit. Hope this gives you a starting point in your research!
