The 2004 NFL draft class was particularly notable for the three quarterbacks who were picked in the top 10: Eli Manning at No. 1 overall, Philip Rivers at No. 4 and Ben Roethlisberger at No. 10.
And with the news that Manning is retiring, it's a fitting time to look back at the accomplishments and statistics the three players have compiled over their storied careers.
We'll start with career records, and Roethlisberger holds a clear edge:
- Manning: 117-117
- Rivers: 123-101
- Roethlisberger: 144-71-1
In terms of regular-season statistics, Rivers has the most impressive resume:
- Manning: 57,023 yards, 366 touchdowns, 244 interceptions, 60.
