College football’s most famous left-handed player wasn’t even born a lefty. Tua Tagovailoa’s father, Galu, is a lefty, and he wanted a left-handed counterpart to play catch with. So Galu converted Tua into a southpaw, he told AL.com, by putting the ball in his left hand and letting it ride.
Now, Tagovailoa represents the greatest hope for lefty quarterbacks. Roughly 10% of humans are left-handed, but out of 82 active NFL quarterbacks, zero are lefties. Across FBS football, you can count the contributing lefty QBs on two hands.
Kellen Moore, the most recent lefty QB on an NFL roster, is now the Cowboys’ quarterbacks coach.
