Clayton is the only correct answer.

Stokely Carmichael played  a different position in a different league.  He played  QB for the Black Panthers of the Pan-African League.

Here is today's trivia question.  

The Top 25 seasons in terms of Most Passes Completed in a Season  are held by   just   11 QBs.   (so obviously several QBs are on the top 25 list more than once)

Name these   11  QBs.     And to make it easier for you:   Every one of those 25 seasons  has been in this century.  So no need to think about going back too far.

Would one be Mayfield as a rookie ?  And maybe Mahomes,  Rodgers, Wilson, Watson ?

It's definitely a passing game now more than ever.
