NFL: Position Transition

[dinger]

a friend and i are talking about college quarterbacks who are now playing successfully in the nfl as WRs. (its obvious what brought this up. please try not to get off of track.)

here are some we thought of:
ronald curry
brad smith
antwaan randle el
matt jones

one we thought of that didnt work so well:
eric crouch (this gives you a good hint where my buddy is from...i wouldnt have even brought this guy up)

can you think of anyone we are missing? i feel like there is an obvious one i didnt come up with.

also, what about maybe positions other than WR or non-successful transitions?

was Hines Ward a college QB? I remember hearing the Stealers had 2 wrs-turned-qb on their team back when Randal-El played for them

 

[clones_jer]

also the kid on the 49ers that was a QB turned runningback (from Penn St?)

Edit: Michael Robinson

I'm pretty sure Hines Ward saw time as QB, RB, and WR while at Georgia.

Only because I'm a big time Rams fan, I know of Marques Hagans, QB at Virginia. He got drafted a few years ago and was finally cut this year.

Carlyle Holiday, I believe.

 

[chadm]

Kordell Stewart when he was 'slash' could be added to this list.

John Lynch was a QB at Stanford.

Arnaz Battle - Niners is who you're thinking of. He started out as a QB for Notre Dame but actually switched in college similar to Austin Flynn.

I think you missed Nolan Cromwell. :wink:

Isn't Ronnie Brown playing QB for the Fins?? Atleast he did against the Pats. :wink:
