And not a one of them ever took a snap in a regular season game that I can think of.

Maybe Moore will change that.

The semi-interesting thing that I noticed is that only TWO former Boise State quarterbacks have ever been drafted and they were both drafted by the NFL in the 1970's. Eric Guthrie in 1972 and Jim McMillan in 1975. All of the other former Boise State QB's who played for an NFL team were all signed as free agents.
