A&M among top schools in QBs drafted to the NFL

Is it time to label Texas A&M as ‘quarterback university,’ aka ‘QBU?’ With the 2023 NFL Draft just around the corner it begs the question of which football program has consistently sent signal-callers to the pros. Over the course of the last decade, the Aggies have been among the top schools of producing NFL talent under center.

According to Pro Football Focus College, Texas A&M has sent three quarterbacks to the NFL through the draft since 2010, which is tied with the likes of Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and USC. 10 other football programs are tied with the Aggies with three QBs drafted over the last decade.

Only Oklahoma (5) and Alabama (4) are the only two schools to send more signal-callers to the NFL since 2010.

Ryan Tannehill (2012), Johnny Manziel (2014), and Kellen Mond (2021) headline the group of signal-callers to make the jump from College Station over to the NFL.

Tannehill was taken in the first round (8th overall) by the Miami Dolphins, while Johnny Manziel was selected as a first-rounder (22nd overall) by the Cleveland Browns. Mond was taken in the third round with the 66th pick by the Minnesota Vikings.

Mond spent one season with the Vikings, with his lone debut coming in Week 17 of the 2021-22 season in the fourth quarter after starter Kirk Cousins was ruled out with covid. He completed two of three passes for five yards in the 37–10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. After being waved in August 2022, he was claimed off waivers shortly thereafter by the Cleveland Browns.

Manziel’s stint in the NFL was short-lived as he appeared in just 14 games for the Browns while starting in eight of those contests. He finished with 1,675 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions with a passer rating of 74.4. He also added 46 carries for 259 yards and a rushing score.

Tannehill has found the most success in the NFL in large…
