Ah your honor, but the precise question asked which college they attended. I was merely pointing out that in his case there were two.😁

Actually, there were probably many Hall of Famers  that attended more than one school.  I think Terry Bradshaw even attended LSU for a bit, or maybe not.  It is becoming more common place, as we know, for players to transfer these days.   3 of the 4 QBs in the CFP were transfers. Burrow, Fields, Hurts.

A&M has two former QBs who transferred out and now are NFL QB's, the two who both walked within a week of each other over a who starts squabble. One of course won the Heisman (Kyler Murray) and starts for the Cards and the other started for a while (Kyle Allen) when Cam was hurt at the Panthers. They just re-signed Allen as his backup.

Dan Marino

Bob Greise

Johnny Unitas

 

No, No, and No...but good guesses.   Marino  .613,  Griese  .622  Unitas .648

Further hint:   One played for the Good Guys, one plays for the Bad Guys.  One was funky.  One was as bland as a sheet of paper.  Another could have been related in a way to Ted Kaczinski.   Another plays beyond his stature.

I'm starting to think someone might be looking these up.... 😳

I would hope not.   Those extra clues I gave should have turned the light bulb on for someone who has been around a While.  Example....he got Jim McMahon who described himself as the "funky QB"  on the Bears  1985 Super Bowl Shuffle video.  And Lamonica's nickname was The Mad Bomber....ergo the Ted Kaczinski reference.
