Would you believe that in 1986 almost one-half of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL (13 out of 28 teams) were from California high schools? The group included Hall of Famers John Elway (left) and Warren Moon. Photos: profootballhof.com.
As a companion Gold Club special column for this week’s updated release of our massive list containing the name of every quarterback from a California high school who has started a game in the NFL since 1945 (and everyone from the AFL before the merger), we go over those schools with more than one, the only brother combination on the list, those years in which there were nine, 11 or even 13 starting QBs from the Golden State and many other amazing facts and stats.
