Every former NCAA quarterback who scored in Week 1 of NFL preseason

While we all eagerly await the start of the 2024 collegiate football season, and the start of the NFL’s regular season, we have preseason games every weekend.

While it isn’t our favorite college teams taking the field every Thursday through Monday, we still get to see some former stars play their game.

No, it isn’t the usual starters or Hall of Fame players quite yet but it is a lot of athletes that are freshly out of college and fighting for their chance at the professional level.

One of the big highlights in week one was the class of rookie quarterbacks. From South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler to LSU’s Jayden Daniels to Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy, rookie QBs were slinging the ball and running it downfield just like they did in college.
