Terry Baker

As QB, Terry Baker led Oregon State to its 9-2 record during his senior year. He finished his college career with 23 touchdown passes and 3,476 yards. The Los Angeles Rams took a chance on him as the first overall pick of the 1963 Draft. Sadly, he barely saw any action during his rookie season. In the end, they switched him to running back with little success. Three seasons later, Baker moved from the NFL to the CFL to join the Edmonton Eskimos.

Pat Sullivan

Without a doubt, Pat Sullivan was a fantastic QB for Auburn. In 1970, he had the best total offense in the NCAA. In 30 games, he had 53 touchdowns and 6,284 yards as a Tiger. In 1971, he won the Heisman Trophy. The Atlanta Falcons picked him during the second round of the draft. He was a backup for the team for four seasons until he moved to the CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders. Once he left football, he started coaching instead. He was the Samford University head coach between 2007 and 2014.
