The 2024 NFL draft was historic in several ways, but the most noteworthy piece of history happened in the first round, as six quarterbacks were taken in the first 12 picks. The quarterbacks in the 2024 first round were Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr, J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix.
The last time six quarterbacks were drafted in the first round, take your DeLorean back to 1983.
The 1983 draft was filled with star talent, none more so than at the quarterback position. Overall, eight Hall of Famers were selected in the this draft, six alone in the first round.
How did those six quarterbacks fare, and is it a harbinger of things to come?
