Allen Park — Three of the most highly-touted quarterbacks from the 2009 and 2010 draft classes will share the field Thursday when the Lions and Eagles play at Ford Field (12:30 p.m., FOX).
Matthew Stafford was the first pick by the Lions in 2009, and Mark Sanchez went to the Jets at No. 5. A year later, Sam Bradford went to the Rams first overall.
With Bradford and Sanchez now in Philadelphia and Stafford still without a playoff victory to his name, all three quarterbacks represent just how difficult it is to find a franchise quarterback who can excel consistently in the NFL.
