In a conference as laden with talent as the SEC, quarterback seems to be the one area where the conference doesn’t outshine the rest of the country from a talent standpoint.

Yes, the conference has three Heisman winners — Tim Tebow, Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel — at the position in the last decade, but the SEC has come to be much more known for its production at just about every other position than quarterback. That’s especially true in the last two years, as talent has drained from the position and become a point of weakness for the conference

With all of that in mind, let’s take a look at which school has done the best when it comes to quarterback play over the last decade, from recruiting all the way through exporting players to the NFL.

To figure it out, we assigned values to several key areas. We looked back at the last 10 recruiting cycles (2006-15), seasons and NFL drafts (2005-14). Each four- or five-star quarterback recruit a school signed earned a half-point, each AP first-team All-SEC selection earned two points, consensus All-American selections were worth four points and NFL draft picks were worth three.

In the cases of Missouri and Texas A&M, both of which joined the conference in 2012, we included any AP first-team Big 12 selections from 2006-11.

4- and 5-star signees 1st-team All-SEC Consensus All-Americans NFL draft picks Points
Alabama 5 o 0 3 11.5
Arkansas 2 1 0 3 12
Auburn 5 1 1 2 14.5
Florida 7 3 1 1 16.5
Georgia 6 1 0 4 17
Kentucky 5 0 0 1 5
LSU 7 1 0 3 14.5
Mississippi State 1 1 0 0 3
Missouri 3 2 0 1 9
Ole Miss 4 0 0 0 2.5
South Carolina 2 0 0 0 1.5
Tennessee 5 0 0 2 8.5
Texas A&M 4 2 1 3 19
Vanderbilt 1 1 0 1 5.5

One of the SEC’s newcomers, Texas A&M, takes the crown as the best when it comes to quarterback production. Johnny Manziel’s two All-SEC and one All-American season serve as the catalyst for propelling the Aggies to the top, although two draft picks came before him in the last 10 years, including first round pick and current Miami Dolphins star Ryan Tannehill. Since Manziel’s breakout 2012 season, the Aggies have landed three of their four four- and five-star signees in the last decade, no doubt influenced by Kevin Sumlin’s exciting offense and what it can do for a passer.

Georgia follows the Aggies, thanks to four NFL draft picks: David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray. While those four combined for just one appearance on the All-SEC first team (Shockley in 2005, one season after succeeding Greene), all four put up excellent numbers for the Dawgs, with Murray setting school and SEC records before graduating last year.

Right behind the Bulldogs is Florida, almost entirely on the strength of Tebow. He earned three consecutive All-SEC nods and one consensus All-American bid and is the school’s only draft pick at the position over the last decade, despite seven four- and five-star signees.

LSU has done the least with the most; the Tigers are tied tops in the SEC in elite recruits over the last decade, and while they do have three draft picks, two of them (Matt Flynn and JaMarcus Russell) were recruited prior to 2006, while the other (Zach Mettenberger) was originally a Georgia signee and arrived at LSU from junior college.

Arkansas, on the flip side, has made the most of a worse hand in recruiting. The Razorbacks have brought in two blue chip quarterback signees in the last decade, yet have sent three quarterbacks to the NFL draft.
