Though the SEC produces some of the NFL’s top players on a yearly basis, only five of the 32 teams have quarterbacks who spent their Saturdays down south.

Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, Eli Manning of the New York Giants, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys and Ryan Tannehill of the Miami Dolphins are the only former SEC players running NFL offenses (and Tannehill wasn’t even a quarterback during his Texas A&M career).

However, this current crop of SEC quarterbacks should produce a handful of NFL-caliber players, so let’s take a look at which current pro each team’s starter most resembles:

Jalen Hurts, Alabama: Russell Wilson

Wilson also faced questions about his accuracy coming out of college, but the North Carolina State and Wisconsin product has silenced his critics by becoming one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the game.

Much like Hurts will eventually learn, Wilson’s best plays don’t come when he scrambles. Instead, he’s learned to use his legs to buy him more time to throw and give his receivers more time to shake their defenders.

Coming off a year in which he won the SEC Offensive Player of the Year award as a true freshman, if Hurts can extend more plays in 2017, he and the Alabama offense will be even more dangerous.

Jarrett Stidham, Auburn: Andrew Luck

Stidham will be one of the most-scrutinized SEC players this year, having transferred to Auburn after spending his freshman year in 2015 with Baylor.

However, much like Luck lived up to the hype after he was the Indianapolis Colts’ No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, there’s no reason to believe Stidham won’t immediately become one of the conference’s best throwers.

Austin Allen, Arkansas: Philip Rivers

Allen, like Rivers, often takes a beating behind a struggling offensive line. However, both players display incredible toughness by standing tall in the pocket and making pinpoint throws even as they are drilled by opposing pass rushers.

Of all the talented quarterbacks in the SEC last year, Allen led the way in passing yards, something Rivers did at the NFL level back in 2010.

Allen’s best quality is that he makes his receivers better, which is also something Rivers does very well for the now-Los Angeles Chargers.

Malik Zaire, Florida: Tyrod Taylor

It’s tough to come up with an NFL comparison for Zaire, since he only attempted 98 passes in three years with Notre Dame.

However, he also rushed for 324 yards as a member of the Fighting Irish, so he clearly has some skill in that area, much like Taylor.

Taylor led NFL quarterbacks with 580 rushing yards in 2016, but he also made great strides as a passer. If Zaire can do the same thing with the Gators this fall, the Florida offense could reach heights it hasn’t seen since Tim Tebow was in town.

Jacob Eason, Georgia: Joe Flacco

The obvious comparison here is Matthew Stafford, as the Detroit Lions signal caller also played at Georgia.

However, Stafford is famous for changing arm slots to make throws in tight spaces and Eason doesn’t yet have that skill.

What the sophomore does have, though, is a big arm that can make any throw on the field — much like Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco. Both Eason and Flacco struggle with accuracy at times, but when they’re on their games, they look (dare we say it?) elite.

Stephen Johnson, Kentucky: Ryan Tannehill

Neither Tannehill nor Johnson will wow you with what they do on the field, but the Miami Dolphins are happy to have the former Texas A&M receiver under center and the Wildcats should be happy to have Johnson calling plays.

Johnson, like Tannehill, doesn’t run the ball a lot, but can be effective on the ground when it is needed. Both players have some work to do if they want to reach the top tier of quarterbacks at their levels, but they have the talent to get it done in the coming years.

Danny Etling, LSU: Eli Manning

Manning has two Super Bowl rings, so it’s hard to label him solely as a “game manager,” but that’s basically what he’s been the past few years.

Etling, meanwhile, has Derrius Guice in the backfield as the star of the offense. All he has to do is take care of the football and make simple throws to keep the Tigers’ offense moving.

Etling’s 11-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio last year was better than Manning’s 26-to-16 ratio, but both players will need to do better in 2017 to help their teams reach their full potential.

Nick Fitzgerald, Mississippi State: Cam Newton

Though Fitzgerald finished second in the SEC in rushing yards in 2016, it’s safe to say that if he’s going to make it in the NFL, teams won’t want him running as much.

That sounds a lot like the path former Auburn QB Cam Newton took upon entering the NFL. Running is still an important part of Newton’s game, but he’s also developed into one of the better all-around quarterbacks in the league.

Fitzgerald has a lot of work to do if he wants to reach the 2015 MVP’s level, but the size, strength and big arm are all similar to the skill set Newton was working with coming out of college.

Drew Lock, Mizzou: Matt Ryan

Though Lock and the Mizzou offense employ a fast-paced attack predicated on getting the ball out of his hands quickly, the rising junior has a cannon for an arm and loves to take a deep shot every now and then.

That’s a lot like what Ryan does for the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, when you have Julio Jones as one of your top targets, you have to throw deep every now and then.

Still, Ryan and Lock both have the ball in their hands a lot and are counted on to make the right decisions to keep the offense moving down the field.

Shea Patterson, Ole Miss: Drew Brees

No, Patterson isn’t one of the tallest players in college football, and no, that won’t matter come August, as the sophomore should develop into one of the better quarterbacks in the SEC.

With a backfield that doesn’t feature the star players many other SEC squads have, the offense will rest on Patterson’s shoulders.

He could finish among the top three in pass attempts in the conference and could end up at the top of the leaderboard when it comes to passing yards — a spot New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is quite familiar with in the NFL.

Jake Bentley, South Carolina: Matthew Stafford

Stafford has never led the NFL in passing yards, but is frequently among the top throwers in the league.

Bentley, after an outstanding second half of his freshman season, will have a full season under center for the Gamecocks this year. However, with Drew Lock and Austin Allen still in the SEC, Bentley is unlikely to lead the conference in passing yards.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. There aren’t many quarterbacks the Detroit Lions would rather have instead of Stafford, and Bentley should be just as important for South Carolina this fall.

Quinten Dormady, Tennessee: Carson Wentz

Neither Wentz nor Dormady are going to have many designed runs called for them, but with their size and strength — Dormady is 6-4 and Wentz is 6-5 — they have the ability to keep plays alive with their legs.

Both also have good arms, as the Philadelphia Eagles rookie demonstrated at the start of last year. Dormady will have a lot of work to do to replace Joshua Dobbs as the Vols’ quarterback, but his big arm may help the Tennessee offense keep clicking this fall.

Jake Hubenak, Texas A&M: Sam Bradford

Even though he was the No. 1 overall pick back in 2009, Bradford hasn’t exactly impressed during his NFL career. A lot of that has to do with the injuries he’s had to deal with, but even when he’s healthy, he’s not one of the better quarterbacks in the league.

Hubenak, meanwhile, will be a fine player for the Aggies, but likely won’t live up to the likes of Trevor Knight, who played quarterback in College Station last year.

Hubenak, a senior, is likely just a placeholder for incoming freshman Kellen Mond or another young quarterback, but he’ll do his part to keep the Aggies competitive.

Kyle Shurmur, Vanderbilt: Ryan Fitzpatrick

When you talk about Kyle Shurmur, one of the first strengths you notice in his game is intelligence. However, that doesn’t always translate into results, as Shurmur finished the 2016 season with nine touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, now a backup quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after two years as the New York Jets’ starter, is also a very smart football player. (He went to Harvard, after all, as every NFL announcer likes to point out repeatedly.)

But, much like Shurmur, Fitzpatrick often takes gambles that don’t pay off, as his 12-to-17 touchdown-to-interception ratio from last season proves.
