Despite being known for great NFL talent and also producing great college quarterbacks, Tennessee football doesn’t have the best run producing elite pro quarterbacks. There are numerous reasons for that, but it’s the case.
Yes, there’s one major exception to that rule, but the Vols quarterbacks have tended to be more successful playing baseball instead of heading to the NFL. Currently, UT has two quarterbacks on NFL rosters, but neither of them has ever started a game.
That is the story of Tennessee football quarterbacks. Some have actually been major busts, but most just didn’t head to the pros with high expectations to begin with.
