A few days ago a friend asked me if ISU ever had 3 graduates starting at QB in the NFL at the same time.

I know back when Seneca Wallace was starting for quite a stretch on the Seahawks (what's-his-name ... ?Hasselbeck? was injured) I think Sage was starting too. But I can't think of a 3rd.

I'm not sure if there have ever even been 3 Cyclone graduates on NFL rosters at QB simultaneously, let alone starting.

If anyone can clear that up for me, would be grateful!

[Edit: I realize I should have put this in the Pro-sports topic ... Oops, sorry! If a mod wants to move this, that's fine.]

I noticed that it was phrased as "graduates" in the NFL. Is that the key distinction here? If so, I think that's going to make this an even rarer group, even outside of ISU.

You can also mark Matt Cassel down as a starter coming from USC. That in and of itself is something USC can be proud of. He's got to be one of the only quarterbacks to ever be drafted and never start in a college game.

Well, that's what I said, but I just meant ex-players.

thanks all for the good info. Looks like my friend was wrong.

Can anyone just list the Cyclones who have ever made an NFL roster as QB?

I think there was one week a few years ago when 3 Iowa natives all started at QB - Sage, Warner and Orton.
