Don't forget about Jim Everett and Kyle Orton, their NFL careers may not have been awesome, but they collected a bunch of money and when you get to looking at all the QB's that come from that school, it's a really amazing list when you consider it's just Purdue.

Yeah, I knew about Everett but I forgot about Orton. Good grab. BTW, Kyle Orton's jersey number is 18. Why? It's his way to honor the late Brook Berringer.

Purdue correct! Good job. Other notables are; Jim Everett, Bob Griese, & Drew Brees currently of the NFL Saints.

Mark Herrmann ('77 - '80) is another former Purdue quarterback that should be added to the list. Finished 4th in the Heisman balloting in '80.
