4. Steve Grogan. Not the greatest passer, but good enough to start in the NFL. He loved to run the ball. Only QB in NFL ever to wear a LB's neckroll.
With Grogan at QB, Mini-Mack at HB, and Don Calhoun (a fine player) at FB, the patriots had the 1971 sarting backfield for Kansas State University. for about 2 years, as i recall.

Grogan. My favorite description of the way he threw the ball was that, early in his career, he'd try to throw it through the chest of any defender in the way. Sometimes it seemed like his arm was almost strong enough to do it! When he matured as a QB, of course, he threw over or around defenders, like Brady. After Brady, in the next three best Patriots QBs with Bledsoe and Babe Parilli. When all is said and done, they'd be a distant 2 - 3 - 4.
