One of the top two quarterbacks in this draft, or course, is North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz. The 6-5 signal-caller helped the Bison win back-to-back National Championships the past two seasons (the most recent in an unfathomable string of five straight National Title’s for North Dakota State), and as he entered the draft process, the biggest question about his game was his level of competition at the FCS level.
Wentz isn’t the first quarterback to come from the FCS level, and a number of those players have gone on to have success in the NFL. Alcorn State’s Steve McNair and Youngstown State’s Ron Jaworski both appeared in a Super Bowl.
