Trio of former Alabama quarterbacks about to change the narrative in NFL

Bart Starr, Joe Namath, and Kenneth Stabler all had success in the National Football League as quarterbacks from Alabama.

All three won at least one Super Bowl and were leaders for their respective teams. It was a great moment for the Crimson Tide; however, a different narrative has been cast on the program. In today’s society, the thought is an Alabama signal-caller does not pan out in the NFL. Players such as John Parker Wilson, Greg McElroy, Jacob Coker, and Blake Sims did not cut in the pros.

AJ McCarron, a two-time national championship starting quarterback at Alabama, is a backup for the Atlanta Falcons.
