The tradition of having a number draft for the Virginia football team has created a quartet of quarterbacks for the Virginia Cavaliers that is reminiscent of the early NFL.
Otto Graham became a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback wearing number 60 for the Cleveland Browns from 1946-51. Virginia Cavaliers head football coach Bronco Mendenhall created a number draft at Virginia allowing players to be awarded for their play in training camp and picking their numbers based on performance.
The QBs for the Virginia Cavaliers are reminiscent of that era.
