Question

The Giants on Thursday night selected Daniel Jones with the 6th pick. The last time a Duke quarterback was selected in the first round, he also was chosen by the Giants (Dave Brown in 1992, with a supplemental pick). What other three active quarterbacks (all currently starters) were chosen in the first round by teams that previously in the Super Bowl era used first-round picks on quarterbacks from the same school?

Answer

Andrew Luck, Stanford (Colts drafted John Elway in 1983), Aaron Rodgers, Cal (Packers in 1981 selected Rich Campbell), and Sam Darnold, Southern Cal (Jets in 2009 picked Mark Sanchez). The Jets also have picked two Alabama quarterbacks with first-round picks (Richard Todd and Joe Namath), but Broadway Joe came before the first common draft in 1967.
