SEC football is known for winning but not for producing great NFL quarterbacks
In the last 40 years, SEC football teams have produced 14 national championship teams and ten Heisman Trophy winners. Not a bad record at all.
The SEC has also had 60 quarterbacks selected in the NFL draft over this time period,14 of them being taken in the first round, and seven of those being number one overall picks in the draft.
60 quarterbacks, 15 first-round picks, seven number one overall picks in 40 years, and you can count the number of truly great NFL careers from that list on one hand.
