NFL Quarterbacks by College

Since the Spartans are crushing Eastern I decided to take a look at the question I had the other day about NFL quarterbacks and colleges. I'm not crazy enough to go through and check out wins and losses, but the data at ESPN.com made it pretty easy to determine numbers. Here are the schools with more than alumni at quarterback on an NFL roster:


USC4
Virginia Tech 3
Michigan State 3
North Carolina State 2
Tennessee 2
Oregon State 2
Florida State 2
Boston College 2
Georgia 2
Oklahoma 2
LSU 2
Purdue 2
Michigan 2
Texas A&M 2
Auburn 2
Eastern Illinois 2
Wisconsin 2
Missouri 2

The two schools that surprised me are Eastern Illinois (Tony Romo, Jimmy Garoppolo) and Virginia Tech (Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, Logan Thomas). It also demonstrates just how impressive a run USC had at quarterback (Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley), though it is amazing to me that Cassel is still in the NFL and Matt Leinart isn't on a roster.
