All two of them?

I think before Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones you have to go back to Richard Todd in the mid-70s to find an Alabama QB that was drafted in the first round.

Brady Quinn is the first one to come to mind - great thread idea though.

Andre Ware seemed suspect.

Guys like Danny Weurfel, etc probably too obvious. That said, Quinn and Ware probably pretty obvious to most as well.

I had forgotten about Klingler and Thompson. Man, the bengals and drafting QB's.


Palmer and Burrow notwithstanding.
