Question

The Jets drafted Sam Darnold Thursday night, and for the second time in nine years, they’ve used a top-5 pick on a quarterback from Southern Cal. In the Super Bowl era, what is the only other team that’s used two top-5 picks on quarterbacks from the same school?

Answer

The Colts, selecting John Elway (1983) and Andrew Luck (2012), both from Stanford. One other team has used two first-round picks on quarterbacks from the same school – the Packers, with Aaron Rodgers and Rich Campbell (1981) both having played at Cal. Rodgers was selected 24th, while Campbell was chosen 6th. If you want to include players pre-dating the first common draft, the Jets would have a second pair of first rounders, with Joe Namath and Richard Todd both coming from Alabama. Namath was the No. 1 pick in the 1965 AFL draft, while Todd was the 6th pick of the 1976 draft.
