In 2009 the Detroit Lions selected quarterback Matthew Stafford with the number one overall pick in the NFL draft. Stafford came to Detroit after playing collegiately for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2006-2008. He was easily the best quarterback in the 2009 draft class, amassing over 7,700 yards, 51 touchdowns and a rating of 133.3 over that three-year span with Georgia.
Stafford is entering his 11th season in the NFL this year and has accomplished quite a bit in Detroit. He has thrown for 38,526, yards (21st all-time) and 237 touchdowns (27th all-time).
