Question

Jameis Winston in 2015 was picked No. 1 overall by Tampa Bay. Now he’s starting for a different team in the same division. (And the Saints, of course, play the Bucs on Sunday.) Who was the last other quarterback to do this? Looking for a quarterback who was picked No. 1 overall, then became a starting quarterback for a different team in the same division.

Answer

Sam Bradford. Bradford was originally picked No. 1 by the St. Louis Rams but later became a starter in Arizona. Previously, Drew Bledsoe was picked No. 1 overall by the Patriots and later started for three years for the Bills. Most obscurely, Steve Bartkowski was the No. 1 overall pick by Atlanta in 1975 and spent 11 seasons with the Falcons. But he closed out his career with six starts with the Rams in 1986 (his final road start was at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, with him throwing his final touchdown pass).
