The answer is one. Drew Stanton, from Michigan State, started last night (October 7, 2016) for the Arizona Cardinals and won 33-21. His stats were not spectacular, he only threw for 124 yards, but did have two TDs. Actually, Drew is more of a career backup in the NFL. Not a bad gig considering he has made $25,846,469 over his NFL career and he is still making more.
Drew Stanton is the only one still standing in the NFL, none of his “classmates” from 2007 are still playing. Some view the 2007 NFL draft as a bust for QBs; we agree, well with the exception of Drew Stanton’s career. Not all that much was expected of him anyway as he was a second round draft pick. Here a list of all the QBs from that draft:
Pick in Draft | Player | School | NFL Team | Still Playing |
1 | JaMarcus Russell | LSU | Oakland | NO |
22 | Brady Quinn | Notre Dame | Cleveland | NO |
36 | Kevin Kolb | Houston | Philadelphia | NO |
40 | John Beck | Brigham Young | Miami | NO |
43 | Drew Stanton | Michigan State | Detroit | YES |
92 | Trent Edwards | Stanford | Buffalo | NO |
103 | Isaiah Stanback | Washington | Dallas | NO |
151 | Jeff Rowe | Nevada | Cincinnati | NO |
174 | Troy Smith | Ohio State | Baltimore | NO |
205 | Jordan Palmer | UTEP | Washington | NO |
217 | Tyler Thigpen | Coastal Carolina | Minnesota | NO |
