Question
Bo Nix is out with an ankle injury, eliminating the possibility of two quarterbacks selected in the first round of the same draft meeting in a conference championship (Drake Maye and Nix were the 3rd and 12th picks of the 2024 draft). When was the last time a conference championship featured two quarterbacks picked in the first round of the same draft?
Answer
It's happened only three times, and all involved quarterbacks from the fabled class of 1983. In 1985, New England (Tony Eason) won at Miami (Dan Marino). In 1991, Buffalo (Jim Kelly) beat Denver (John Elway). And in 1992, Buffalo (Kelly) beat Miami (Marino).
