Where did former Kansas City Chief quarterback Len Dawson play his college ball at?
 
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.
