Grossman came from the Fun N' Gun. Urban Meyer runs the Spread Option.

Alex Smith, Omar Jacobs, Josh Harris were all spread option QBs drafted in the NFL. Smith was a monumental bust and the latter two never panned out. Michael Bishop ran the spread option a little at K-State.

Joey Harrington was a spread QB, as were David Klingler, Andre Ware, Akili Smith.

Manning, Brady, Palmer, Rivers, McNabb (to a lesser extent), Cutler all came from a standard pro-style offense.

Aye yie yie!

OK, I'm sold. Who are the big name college QBs that are running a spread O?
