Best colleges for future NFL quarterbacks?

Hey guys, hope this isn't a silly question or anything. I play quarterback for my high school and it's honestly my dream to play in the NFL one day. I was wondering if there's a particular college that has placed the most quarterbacks in the NFL.

Hi! Your goal is not silly at all. Pursuing a career in the NFL is a big dream, and attending a college known for producing NFL quarterbacks could definitely be a step in the right direction.

In recent years, several colleges have repeatedly produced successful NFL quarterbacks. Here are a few examples:

1. University of Southern California (USC): USC has a strong history of producing successful NFL quarterbacks, including Carson Palmer, Mark Sanchez, and Sam Darnold.

2. University of California, Berkeley (Cal): Cal's QB alumni include Aaron Rodgers and Jared Goff, two well-known names in the NFL.

3. Purdue University: Known as the "Cradle of Quarterbacks," Purdue has sent several of its players to the NFL, such as Drew Brees and Len Dawson.

4. University of Oklahoma (OU): OU has recently produced two Heisman-winning quarterbacks who have gone on to the NFL: Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray.

5. Stanford University: With quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and John Elway, Stanford is another solid choice.

6. University of Alabama: Alabama has lately been a powerhouse in college football and has produced quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones.

Please remember that while attending a college known for producing NFL talent can be helpful, it's also important to consider aspects like the coaching staff, the team's offensive system, and the overall fit with the school. And remember, even though these schools have had successful quarterbacks, there's no guarantee. Hard work, consistent improvement, physical health, and a little bit of luck also play a significant role! All the best with your journey.
