First-year Florida Gators coach Dan Mullen has a well-known track record for grooming quarterbacks at the college level.
There's Alex Smith, who Mullen helped developed at Utah into the No. 1 pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. In their two years together at Utah (2003 and 2004), Smith threw for 5,199 yards, 47 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Smith, a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has played 12 years in the NFL.
There are Tim Tebow and Chris Leak at Florida, who helped lead Florida to two national titles over a three-year span with Mullen as offensive coordinator.
And there are Dak Prescott and Nick Fitzgerald at Mississippi State, the cornerstones of the Bulldogs offense over the past five years that Mullen turned into a competitor in the vicious SEC West.
