    Here is today's Trivia Question:

    Since the Browns began drafting with the NFL in 1950, they have selected  8 Quarterbacks in the first round of the draft.

    Name these 8 QBs.

    Answers:

    1952  Harry Agannis *

    1954  Bobby Garrett*   #1 overall

    1970  Mike Phipps

    1999 Tim Couch #1 overall

    2007 Brady Quinn

    2012 Brandon Weeden

    2014 Johnny Manziel

    2018 Baker Mayfield  #1 overall 

    Note:  Baker Mayfield need to throw for  3580 yards this year to take over as leader for the most yards thrown by a Browns first round draft pick **  currently held by Tom Couch who had 11,131 yards in his career.

    * Neither Agannis nor Garrett even threw for one yard as a Cleveland Browns QB.  Agannis chose to play baseball instead, and Garrett was traded to like Green Bay before the regular season of his rookie season began.  He played in all of 9 NFL games. 

    ** The above does not include Bernie Kosar, who was taken as the #1 overall pick in the 1984 Supplemental Draft.   This thread could, obviously, conceivably include Bernie, as the Browns did trade their first round pick for him  (in fact, they may have trade  2 first round picks...have to check on that).  It is just that for purposes of this, I was only including QBs taken in the regular draft. 

    Free to merge.  Thanks.

    Yes, ?Vinny was a good dude who went on to put up some big #'s and had super longevity. He played until he was 44! Crazy. Unheard of back then.

    Ah your honor, but the precise question asked which college they attended. I was merely pointing out that in his case there were two.?

    Actually, there were probably many Hall of Famers  that attended more than one school.  I think Terry Bradshaw even attended LSU for a bit, or maybe not.  It is becoming more common place, as we know, for players to transfer these days.   3 of the 4 QBs in the CFP were transfers. Burrow, Fields, Hurts.

    A&M has two former QBs who transferred out and now are NFL QB's, the two who both walked within a week of each other over a who starts squabble. One of course won the Heisman (Kyler Murray) and starts for the Cards and the other started for a while (Kyle Allen) when Cam was hurt at the Panthers. They just re-signed Allen as his backup.

    About two more hours to get these:

    I will whittle these down to those not already named for ease:

    Ace Parker

    Hint:  ain't none of them went to Texas A&M.  None of them went to any Big 12 schools. 

    Further hint:   3 of them went to Big Ten schools;    3 of them went to SEC schools; 2 of them went to ACC school (hint: same school);   2 of them went to Pac 12 schools.    One went to Ivy League.    2 went to "small colleges".
