So your five, four, three is Howard Judkins.

We're not putting Julian saying it on this list just because he never actually played a season in Alabama.
Justin Fields played a season at Georgia and was the backup quarterback was the wrinkle quarterback and is like a miracle.
And this was the whole thing again of even back then that you were supposed to still sit out unless you had a reason.
He got a waiver.
Yeah.
So how different... Because this is like playing the game of what if he didn't come to Ohio State?
Yep.
It is one of those.
I think I remember thinking about this back then, and I think we have an answer to some degree on it now.
Is it more that Justin Fields made Ryan Day or that Ryan Day made Justin Fields?
And as much as Justin Fields set the tone for this, I also think you can look and it's just, it hasn't gone perfectly in the NFL for him.
Right.
I mean, it actually has not gone very well.
Like he's had multiple opportunities and this is like three NFL teams where it kind of hasn't worked out where he has not been the answer as a starting quarterback.
