The University of California had a bunch.
Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Steve Bartkowski, Craig Morton and who could forget our favorite Santa Claus - Kyle Boller? I think they had 1 more - Rich Campbell but you might want to double-check my memory of the last name.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
Off the top of my head Florida had Rex Grossman and Tim Tebow in round 1. Back in BC (Before Cellphones) Steve Spurrier was drafted in round 1 as well - so let's add Florida to your list

No. Lucas not 1st round.
Gips, Penn State's Richie Lucas was a 4th pick overall in 1960 by the Washington Redskins but your directions said after 1966 so I'm wrong.

Right I was just going by since the common draft. In the days of both an AFL and NFL draft a guy like that could have gone #4 in one draft, and not until the 4th round in another. See Morton: #5 overall in 1965....in NFL draft, but not until round 10 in AFL draft.

Here is today's Trivia Question:
Since the onset of the Common Draft...i.e. when NFL and AFL combined their drafts in 1966......there have been 10 colleges who have had 3 or more Quarterbacks drafted in the First Round of the draft.
Name those 10 colleges.
Answers all given:
Cal.....Goff, Rodgers, Boller, Rich Campbell, Bartkowski
Florida.....Tebow, Grossman, Spurrier, John Reaves
Florida St......Ponder, Manuel, Winston
Oklahoma.....Murray, Mayfield, Bradford (all #1 overall)
Oregon.....Mariota, Harrington, Akili Smith, Chris Mills. Justin Herbert will give them 5
Purdue.....Griese, Everitt, Phipps (Drew Brees was #32 pick, which at the time was 2d round)
UCLA...Rosen, Aikman, Cade McNown, Tommy Maddox
USC...Darnold, Sanchez, Leinart, Palmer, Todd Marinovich
Washington State: Leaf, Bledsoe, Jack Thompson
Note: #1 as mentioned above, Oregon will get its 5th First round draft pick QB when Herbert gets taken (I think that is safe to say)
That will mean that the only schools that will have had 5 first round picks since the "Common Draft"...have all been Pac-10 schools
#2. Joe Burrow will allow LSU to join the "3 First Round QB since the merger club"....having Jamarcus Russell and Bert Jones previously.
#3. Tua....will only be the second 1st round QB from Alabama in the Common Draft era....Richard Todd being the other Namath/Starr were prior to Common Draft era......Stabler as noted above...2d round.
#4. Jordan Love, if taken in round one, will be first First round QB by Utah St. Their rival Utah...has had just one: Alex Smith.
#5. As noted above....all Oklahoma QBs taken in round one were each #1 overall picks. The same is true for Stanford: Luck/Elway/Plunkett....all #1 overall.
#6. Besides OK and Stanford, the only other school with more than 1 #1 overall is Cal......Goff and Bartkowski. No other school has had more than one #1 overall QB.

You all made short order of yesterday's quiz. Today's may prove to be harder. What it will also prove is that for a long long period of time, Running Backs were the cream of the crop when it came to drafting positions in Round 1 ...rather than QB. Here it is, and is similar to yesterday's question:
Since the Common Draft began in 1966......there have been 11 schools who have had FIVE (5) or more of their Running Backs taken in the first round of the draft.
Name these 11 schools.

Wisconsin, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, USC
Wisconsin, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, USC
These are all correct....except Wisconsin (only 3)
