Eric Zeier deserves to be on Georgia Football’s Mount Rushmore for quarterbacks

Georgia football fans all know Matthew Stafford, Aaron Murray, D.J. Shockley, and David Greene as some of the Bulldogs best quarterbacks. However, there is one signal caller that seems to get left out and he shouldn’t.

Eric Zeier was a two-time Heisman candidate in 1993 and 1994. He once held 67 of Georgia’s passing records and 18 SEC passing records. However, he seems to have been forgotten behind the hype of some of the more recent quarterbacks.

Zeier set these records while at Georgia and held onto them for a long time.

Here’s a list of records he had or still holds:

  • Most Pass Attempts – Game: 65 vs Florida, 1993
  • Most Pass Attempts – Season 433, 1994 (Broken by David Greene)
  • Most Pass Attempts – Career 1402, 1991-94 (Broken by David Greene & Aaron Murray)
  • Most Pass Completions – Game: 36 vs Florida, 1993; also vs Kentucky, 1994 (Broken by Cory Phillips)
  • Consecutive Completions To Start A Game – 15 vs.
