We may see Patrick Mahomes next season but I doubt he plays a lot. Here is a list of 1st rd QBs who barely played their first season. You can see it is not as rare as many people on here are making it out to be.
- #1 Pick Carson Palmer didn't play at all his first year.
- 4th pick Phillip Rivers (behind Drew Brees; 2 games, 8 attempts)
- 8th pick Jake Locker (behind Matt Hasselbeck; 5 games, 66 attempts)
- 11th pick Daunte Culpepper (behind Jeff George/Randall Cunningham; 1 game, 0 attempts)
- 18th pick Chad Pennington (behind Vinny Testaverde; 1 game, 5 attempts)
- 22nd Johnny Manziel (5 games, 35 attempts)
- 22nd pick Brady Quinn (behind Derek Anderson; 1 game, 8 attempts)
- 22nd pick J.P. Losman (behind Drew Bledsoe; 4 games, 5 attempts)
- 24th pick Aaron Rodgers (behind Brett Favre; 3 games, 16 attempts)
- 25th Pick Jason Campbell didn't play at all his first year.
