The SEC boasts a long tradition of putting quarterbacks on NFL rosters. From LSU’s Y.A. Tittle to Alabama’s Bart Starr and Joe Namath, three Mannings (Archie, Peyton and Eli), Cam Newton, a handful from Georgia and even the likes of Kentucky and Vanderbilt, the conference known for defense and smash-mouth running schemes still produces starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

Super Bowl 50 was the third time that former SEC quarterbacks met each other in the big game when Peyton Manning (Tennessee) led the Denver Broncos to victory over the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton (Auburn). Manning led the Colts to victory over Rex Grossman’s (Florida) Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. The first happened in Super Bowl XI when Ken Stabler (Alabama) led Oakland over Minnesota and Fran Tarkenton (Georgia).

But not every SEC signal-caller who gets drafted makes the team as an actual quarterback. A slew of accomplished SEC quarterbacks have made NFL teams at other positions, most notably at wide receiver. Here are five successful former SEC quarterbacks who made a living at other positions.

Hines Ward, Georgia

Ward played his entire 14-year NFL career at wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The four-time Pro Bowler was named MVP of Super Bowl XL and is one of only 13 players to ever have 1,000 career receptions. He played sparingly as Georgia’s quarterback his sophomore year before going back to wide receiver. In that season, Ward completed 31-of-59 attempts in the Peach Bowl — both still Georgia bowl records for completions and attempts. His 469 yards of total offense that game is still a school bowl record as well.

Nick Marshall, Auburn

Long before Marshall landed a spot as cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, his career began as a cornerback for Georgia. His dismissal from the team led him to become quarterback at Garden City Community College and then becoming Auburn’s starting quarterback in 2013-14.

In 2013 he launched the pass to beat Georgia in the game known as “The Prayer at Jordan Hare.” The next week he threw a touchdown pass with 32 seconds remaining to tie Alabama, and the Tigers won the game on Alabama’s missed field goal that was returned 109 yards for a touchdown on the game’s final play.

Marshall signed with the Jaguars as a free agent after going undrafted in 2015. He mostly played special teams and saw increased playing time on defense, with his only start in Week 17 against Houston.

Matt Jones, Arkansas

Jones was a gifted wide receiver in high school before moving to Fort Smith, Ark., and starting at quarterback his senior year. He played sparingly at quarterback his freshman year at Arkansas before starting each of the next three years. He led the Hogs to consecutive nine-win seasons and a share of the 2002 SEC West title. By the time he left Arkansas, he was the SEC’s all-time rushing leader for a quarterback.

The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Jones as a receiver in the first round of the 2005 NFL draft. In 54 games scattered through four seasons, Jones caught 166 passes for 2,153 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Syvelle Newton, South Carolina

Newton, who predominantly played receiver, moonlighted at quarterback for the Gamecocks in the 2004 and 2006 seasons. He took over full-time in 2006 when he replaced Blake Mitchell after a shutout loss to Georgia, and led USC to a bowl win over Houston.

He started in the 2007 East-West Shrine Game and went undrafted in the 2007 NFL draft. He had stints in the Canadian Football League and Arena Football, all as a receiver.

Brad Smith, Missouri

Smith technically didn’t play in the SEC as the Tigers were a Big 12 team during his time in Columbia. He started at quarterback all four years and was only the second player to ever pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in the same season. He led the Tigers to bowl games following the 2003 and 2005 seasons — quite a feat for a program needing a resurgence at the time.

In 2007, the New York Jets drafted Smith with the 103rd overall selection as a wide receiver/running back/quarterback. He played five seasons with the Jets, two with the Buffalo Bills and two with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has 104 career receptions for 987 yards and five touchdowns.
