NFL Combine – Quarterbacks

There will be 18 quarterbacks at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis starting on February 24. The biggest names in that group are unlikely to do much throwing or even working out during their scheduled practice day of Sunday, February 27.

The names at the top of the boards around the league are Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton of the national champion Auburn Tigers and former Missouri starter Blaine Gabbert.

The other best known names in the group are Washington’s Jake Locker, Ricky Stanzi out of Iowa and Alabama’s Greg McElroy.

Of the 18, 16 are from BCS teams with one from Division 1-AA (Delaware’s Pat Devlin) and one from Division II (California of Pa.’s Joshua Portis.) The WAC is the league with the most passers in the Combine with three.

Left out of the session were four of the better senior passers at BCS schools: Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts, Adam Weber of Minnesota, Indiana’s Ben Chappell and Kentucky’s Mike Hartline.

There are three underclassmen: Newton, Gabbert and Ryan Mallett out of Arkansas.
