Tom Brady was the 199th Player Selected in the 2000 Draft. Star NFL QBs: When were they drafted?

Many teams use high picks in the 1st Round to select what they hope will be a franchise QB. However, more often than not, things don't work out as planned. Think of the QBs drafted in the 1st round just a few years ago: Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, and Baker Mayfield have all been cast aside by the team that drafted them (and in some cases, by other teams too!). Some elite NFL QBs have in fact been drafted high in the 1st Round, but other great QBs have been selected in other rounds. Your task in this quiz is to identify in what round they were picked. I will give you the QB, you tell me the round. Got it? Let's go!

Dave Morrissey

Dave is an accomplished economics instructor with over two decades of experience in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. His students have consistently ranked in the top 10% annually, and one year they achieved the highest overall class average in the world. This outstanding achievement led a UK publisher to request that he write a textbook, an offer he declined in favor of creating sports quizzes, which he found more engaging.

In addition to his teaching career, Dave is also a former high school football coach, having won a couple of local championships. While he wishes he had won more, he continues to be deeply involved in football as a scout, recruiter, and social media creator for a university football team.

Dave's passions extend beyond the classroom and football field. He is an avid fan of live music and international travel, often combining these interests. He has traveled to Spain, England, Iceland, and Chile to see bands perform. His greatest pride and joy is his daughter, who has recently excelled in powerlifting. In just a few years, she has become the Canadian record holder for the bench press in her weight class and finished second overall in the combined national event (bench, deadlift, and squat) in Moose Jaw in March 2024. She will be representing Canada at the World Bench Competition in Austin, Texas, in May 2024.

A die-hard fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Dave has experienced his share of sports heartache, having seen them play in seven NFL cities with six losses. His all-time favorite athlete is Don Mattingly, reflecting his deep love for sports that spans many arenas.
