It's been 22 years since a quarterback from the Big Ten was drafted in the first round in the NFL Draft.
Between 1995 — when Kerry Collins went fifth overall to the Carolina Panthers — and 2015, only six quarterbacks were drafted out of the Big Ten.
The last two years has seen that same total, as Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg (Jets), Michigan State’s Connor Cook (Raiders), Michigan’s Jake Rudock (Lions), Indiana’s Nate Sudfeld (Redskins), Ohio State’s Cardale Jones (Bills) and C.J. Beathard (49ers) were among the six Big Ten QBs selected in the 2016 and '17 NFL Drafts.
