NFL DRAFT…SMALL SCHOOL GEMS…QB Nathan Brown, Central Arkansas
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
More in the continuing series of previews on NFL Draft prospects from schools in Division I-FCS and below…from Fantasy College Blitz’s “Minister of the Non-BCS”, Daniel Freer.
Throughout the history of the National Football League, many of the top QBs played their college football at the prime-time, big-time, football powers.
However, quite a few of the all-time top NFL QBs have played at the lesser-known smaller schools…or schools that were, at the time, not a major football program.
Four-time Super Bowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw honed his skills at Louisiana Tech, then a Division II school. Legendary Baltimore Colts QB Johnny Unitas played his college ball at Louisville…then a NAIA school. Former Cincinnati Bengals star QB Ken Anderson spent his undergraduate days at Division III Augustana College
And, although not an “all-time great”, former Seattle Seahawks QB Dave Kreig (who did have some good seasons in the 1980′s) played at tiny Division III Milton College…a college so obscure that it soon closed its doors after Kreig left.
Can Central Arkansas QB, Nathan Brown, (photo, thanks UCA Sports), join the list of elite NFL QBs from the non-traditional powers? Read the rest of this entry →
