Fresno State: Quarterback Cradle of...Well, Fresno?
Let's face it, quarterbacks don't exactly grow on trees. They're a rare breed, a special kind of athlete blessed with both brains and brawn (and maybe an iron arm). So, when a university manages to churn out not one, but two NFL quarterbacks, well, that deserves a victory dance!
That's right, Fresno State University, nestled amongst the sunshine and vineyards of California's Central Valley, has defied the odds and delivered not just a single signal-caller to the big leagues, but a whole Fresno State QB Family.

The Carr Dynasty (Almost)
First up, we have David Carr. Drafted number one overall by the Houston Texans in the 2002 draft, David was pegged as the next big thing. Now, while his NFL career wasn't without its bumps (those pesky sacks!), he carved out a respectable ten-year run, proving Fresno State could develop top-flight talent.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
Fun Fact: David's younger brother, Derek Carr, actually started his college career at Bakersfield College before transferring to Fresno State. Guess those Carr brothers just love California!

Speaking of Derek Carr, this Fresno State alum is still going strong! Drafted in the second round by the Oakland Raiders (now Las Vegas Raiders) in 2014, Derek has become a fan favorite, known for his laser throws and clutch plays.

Derek Carr Stat Alert! Did you know he holds the record for most passing yards in a single season by a Fresno State quarterback? That's a lot of touchdowns, folks!
