First and 10: Asmussen's 10 best Big Ten pro quarterbacks

With the NFL draft just around the corner, our college football writer ranks the all-time best Big Ten pro quarterbacks:

1. Tom Brady, Michigan

Six Super Bowl rings makes him the king from any conference. He has thrown for 70,000 yards and will likely finish second on the career list.

2. Drew Brees, Purdue

Too short? Hardly. The NFL's career passing leader has 74,000 yards and counting. If not for a bad call in the NFC title game, he might have picked up a second Super Bowl ring.

3. Bob Griese, Purdue

Brian's dad led the Dolphins to two Super Bowl wins and three appearances during a Hall of Fame career.
