Greatest NFL Quarterbacks Quiz -- Green 54....Down....Set....Hike!

Like the nucleus of a cell, the NFL quarterback is the mastermind of his team's offense.  His field vision, his ability to scramble away from would-be sacks, his ability to "thread the needle" with passes that only his elite receivers can catch -- all of these leadership skills are second-nature to the greatest QBs in the game.  It doesn't matter how hard they are hit, or how many times they are tackled.  The best get up and continue to inspire their teammates and fans.

Take Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks for example,  As a middle schooler in Richmond, Virginia, he could throw the pigskin farther than many high school starters.  When it came his time to start, he threw for City-wide records before continuing his career at N.C. State -- and then Wisconsin.  In 2012, Russell was named NFL Rookie of the Year.  And in 2013 -- just seven years after graduating from high school -- he won the Super Bowl, the pinnacle of his sport.

But did you know that Russell is less than six feet tall?  That many scouts and commentators thought he was too small to play NFL football?  And that he was the 75th pick -- and 6th quarterback -- taken in the 2012 draft?  In other words, 74 players (including five QBs) were taken before him?  That's unbelievable.

NFL quarterbacks are an elite breed, but so are you as someone who rises to the challenge of a fun trivia quiz.  You will probably know many -- but perhaps not all (especially some older QBs)-- of the NFL greats remembered and glorified in the next 20 questions about Steelers, Saints, Chargers, Cowboys, Patriots, Eagles, Packers, Giants, and others.
