best NFL WR of all time that started at QB for his College team?

[edjr 5,538]

Julian Edelman?

 

No seriously, who is it? I don't think the NFL has been turning college QBs into NFL for long, but who do you think the best is?

 

Matt Jones?

 

I must be missing an obvious one, right?

[Chronic Husker 85]

Top three off the top of my head

 

Randle El

Curry

:gulp: Kordell :gulp:

[surferskin 30]

Anquan Boldin

[edjr 5,538]

Anquan Boldin

 

Just because he played the position, doesn't mean he was a QB.

 

I guess Ronnie Brown is a QB too.

 

In just 23 games at wide receiver at FSU, Anquan Boldin caught 118 passes for 1,790 yards (averaging 15.2 yards per reception) and 21 touchdowns.

He started at QB his final game at FSU.

[jocstrap 8]

Matt Jones wins this thread.

Randle El

Curry

:gulp: Kordell :gulp:

 

Kordell ended up being a QB in the NFL, but yeah I guess Randel El is probably numero uno.

[jgcrawfish 232]

Easy, Hines Ward, thread ovah.

[Chargersin08 0]

All wrong.

Yeah Hines Ward has to be the obvious one, but there could be others - def not the guys mentioned above tho

As a wide receiver for the University of Georgia Bulldogs (1995–1998), Ward's 149 career receptions for 1,965 yards placed him second in team history. He also played tailback and quarterback, and totaled 3,870 all-purpose yards, second only to Herschel Walker in Bulldogs history. In 1996, Hines had 52 receptions for 900 yards, and also ran 26 times for 170 yards. In 1997, Hines hauled in 55 passes and scored six TDs, getting All-SEC honors in the process. He also holds Georgia records for Pass Attempts, Pass Completions, and Passing Yards in a bowl game, from the 1995 Peach Bowl in which he completed 31 of 59 passes for 413 yards.

 

again, just because they played the position a couple times or whatever, doesnt make them a QB. Is Ronnie Brown considered a QB? Lets try and play along for once, I know this is FFT and we like to just make sh1t up, but Ward was a WR in college.

[JackARoot 2]

My vote goes to Randle El.

 

I'm a Hoosier fan, so I have followed him. Not a great reciever, but I was happy to see him throw a TD pass in the Superbowl.

wrong...hines was a full time QB in the 95 season... 95- 122 att. 69 comp...872 yds...2 TD 3 int...he transisition to WR after that. also played QB in high school as well.

[JT 137]

I'll bet there are HOFers from back in the day that meet the criteria.

 

Matt Jones? Are you serious?

 

Randle El was a better college player and is a better NFL player.

 

How about Josh Cribbs?

[JT 137]

He started at QB his final game at FSU.

 

HTH

 

Acknowledged to have the best arm on the Cardinals. Reports say 75 yards with ease.

[worm 34]

Sidney Rice is beginning to make a case for himself, but now I'd have to say Randle El.

Hines Ward was not a QB his whole career at UGA so winner is Boldin but was Boldin??

 

What ever did happen to Ronald Curry??? He was pretty good with Oakland until i think he had achillies injury??

Collinsworth (I think) claims that Rolle can throw it 90 yards.

[PATSSOX 22]

I've seen reports that Rolle can throw it 90.

 

 

Michael Vick can throw the SH!T out of a football but is a good QB?? ummmm NO

Well thats why i questioned if Boldin was too. So you can eliminate Boldin and Hines Ward so who does that leave ya with?

 

-Randle el

-Matt Jones

-who else???????????

It's a relatively new thing, I guess those are the only real choices.

 

I know who the best Safety that was a QB in college is. Scott Frost

[KSB2424 3,082]

Ronald Curry has done more in the NFL than Matt Jones has. But Randel El is the answer.

[parrot 789]

Michael Vick can throw the SH!T out of a football but is a good QB?? ummmm NO

 

ummmm... Did I say he was a good QB? NO

 

My comment was in regards to Boldin having the best arm on the Cardinals. HTH!

[jgcrawfish 232]

again, how is Hines Ward not the hands down winner???

 

best NFL WR of all time that started at QB for his College team?

 

HS QB recruited to Georgia as QB? Check

Started at QB in College? Check

Better than any of the other chumps named? Check

Arguably a HOF WR in the NFL? Check

[RamslovaMartzhata 3]

Ward was definitely the first that came to my mind, but I'd guess thee is someone better.

[cyclone24 1,787]

Heres a nice list.....

 

 

 

Hines Ward

Arnaz Battle

If you take that as "started games" at quarterback than id say it between Ward and Boldin. If it is, who is best WR that played or plays in NFL that was a QB his entire career in college and was converted into a WR in NFL he is eliminated Ward was converted into a WR in college not in pros.

Ward did it all for the Bulldogs, playing and starting at receiver, quarterback, running back and kick returner. He gained 3,870 all-purpose yards at Georgia, the second most in school history behind Herschel Walker. His 144 career receptions are also the second most in the Georgia record books.

 

He may have played QB, but that's not what he was known for in College. he was a WR HTH

He played QB his first year on the team, didn't move to WR until subsequent seasons...The question was:

 

best NFL WR of all time that started at QB for his College team?

 

So long as he started at QB, he meets the criteria...you lose.

Oh i forgot, you made the thread.

[jgcrawfish 232]

dude attempted 122 passes in his first year...that's more than Matt Jones attempted in his career most likely. Go ahead and change the question since you obviously don't like the winning answer...take your ball and go home Edjr, you can't even win at your own game.

Edjr - you are wrong on this one as well. Have you ever heard of Nolan Cromwell. All-American QB at Kansas - NFL Defensive Player of the Year at Safety in 1980 and four time pro-bowl safety 1980-1983. Member of the NFL all decade team for the 1980s.

 

I like Scott Frost - he is the WR coach at my alma mater, Oregon. But he doesn't get anywhere close to Nolan Cromwell in this argument.

Played QB at all in college.... Hines Ward

Played predominantly at QB.... Josh Cribbs!! (QB for 4 years at Kent State... hasn't had much of an impact specifically as a WR but that is his position and he will go down as the greatest return man in the history of the NFL)

[bweiser831 0]

the nfl started before 1996 people. go back and look at some history.

 

nolan cromwell is the correct answer. josh cribbs? matt jones? the internet is your friend. use it.
