From a Hall of Fame trio to first-round flops, here’s a look at some of the best and worst quarterback draft classes in NFL history.
Sometimes, the fresh faces burst onto the scene and make an immediate impact in the league. Other times, the lights are too bright and the entire class flames out.Notable picks: John Elway , Jim Kelly , Tony Eason , Ken O’Brien , Dan Marino Elway was drafted by the Baltimore Colts before forcing a trade to the Denver Broncos, where he won two Super Bowls and 1987 MVP. Kelly nearly pulled a similar move, but he joined the Buffalo Bills in 1985 after two seasons in the USFL.
Early in the second round, Kolb and Stanton had a few moments as fill-in starters, but neither saw much action. Edwards, a third-rounder, similarly got an opportunity for the Buffalo Bills early in his career but couldn’t figure it out.Notable picks: Eli Manning , Philip Rivers , Ben Roethlisberger , J.P. Losman , Matt Schaub The two classes had similar stories at the top, where Manning refused to play for the San Diego Chargers and was shipped to thefor Rivers.
Beyond Banks, no one in this class started more than 27 games. Huard, undrafted out of Washington, was in the league for 12 seasons, mostly as a backup. Kannel started 10 games for the Giants in 1997 and 1998, but that was the extent of his NFL career.Notable picks: Andrew Luck , Robert Griffin III , Ryan Tannehill , Brock Osweiler , Russell Wilson , Nick Foles , Kirk Cousins Luck was a four-time Pro Bowler, retiring at the peak of his powers after just seven seasons due to injuries.
Glennon is the only other player with more than 20 starts, but he has a 6-25 career record while playing for seven different teams. Manuel got a chance to play for the Bills as a rookie, quickly proving that he wasn’t a starting QB. Barkley is still bouncing around as a backup, though he’s only made seven starts in his 10-year career.
