Trivia Time: Franchise Quarterbacks (1 Viewer)

[JKL]

There are four quarterbacks who:

1) were drafted in the first round of the college draft; and

2) are the all-time career passing yardage leader for a franchise OTHER than the one who originally drafted them.

Can you name the four quarterbacks?

Elway?

Favre. Elway?

I think Elway is one. I think Favre was a 2nd round pick so he does not count.Edit to add Jim Everett is one I think. Drafted in 1st by Houston, leads Rams all time.

 

[H.K.]

Len Dawson is one.

Elway is correct. Drafted by the Baltimore Colts, traded to the Broncos for, among others, 4th overall pick OT Chris Hinton.Favre was a 2nd round pick--33rd overall.

 

[JKL]

Len Dawson is one.

Correct. Drafted by Pittsburgh Steelers, later traded to the Chiefs.

Vinny Testaverde? (Ravens)

Nope. Amazingly, Kyle Boller is the Ravens' career passing yardage leader at the moment.

Favre. Elway?

I think Elway is one. I think Favre was a 2nd round pick so he does not count.

Jim Everett was drafted by the Oilers and is the Rams franchise passing yardage leader.

Correct. I thought this would be one people might not remember. Good job. Elway, Dawson and Everett are right. One to go.

After looking it up I know the other two but would never have guessed them.

Good trivia question JKL!!!!!!

To be fair, I didn't remember it. I had to look it up.I looked up the final one as well, but I'll wait to see if anyone knows it off the top of their head (or can figure it out).

Hint: The fourth QB was part of a trivia question here the other day.

Yes, he was. The fourth and final quarterback was originally drafted by a franchise with, um, a history of great quarterback play continuing all the way through last season. His first starting season came the next year, for a now-defunct expansion franchise in its inaugural season. He went to the franchise for which he is best known the year after that.

Looks like Bobby Layne, but if it is, JKL's "hints" are way off. (or just sarcastic)

It is Bobby Layne. As to the Bears drafting Layne, it would be safe to assume my comments are sarcastic. It's pretty telling that even though teams play 4 more games and most pass alot more, the Bears leading passer was retired by 1950.

When I originally posted, I didn't realize it was the NY Yanks (Bulldogs) he played for his 2nd year.

Len Dawson is one.

Correct. Drafted by Pittsburgh Steelers, later traded to the Chiefs.

Steelers weren't in AFL - he was signed as free agent by the Texan/Chiefs
