There has been a lot of chatter about Kellen Moore going to the NFL and possibly becoming the first QB in school history to take a snap during regular season in the league.   So how many other schools are in the same position as Boise State?

There are 120 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and 110 of them have avoided the “QB jinx” of the NFL. With the exception of 10 teams, all these schools have had a quarterback from their program play the quarterback position in the NFL for at least one snap during a regular season game. 

This list has been prepared by the research team at BKfootball.com (yes, the same braintrust that selected the first ever All-Time All-Idaho Football Team). If there are errors please let us know at midknightmedia@gmail.com.

NOTES: The QBs on this list were chosen by random preference, most schools have multiple…Wyoming Cowboy Jim Kiick threw some passes for Miami, but that doesn’t count….Wyoming was close with Casey Bramlett, but no snaps…Ball State was close in 2009 with Nate Davis, and Kent State was close in 1999 with Nate’s older brother Jose Davis…Arizona is surprisingly weak on NFL QBs…Hawaii is a stretch, but June Jones did throw 14 passes there before transferring to Portland State…2012 Mr. Irrelevent Chandler Harnish could break the streak for Northern Illinois.
