Best Quarterbacks to NFL

The best Quarterbacks in NFL history have come from College Football, the prestigious favorite sport for millions of people in the United States. The record-breaking history of the sport is impressive and so is the large number of teams that generation after generation have contributed significantly large numbers of players who have molded Football into the main feeder of players for the national football league.

College Football Evolution

There is a serious debate about where, how and when this beautiful sport that gathers millions of people in the United States started, while some say its origin was in the 19th century, others claim it was after World War II.

Fortunately I took it upon myself to do some research, and indeed, according to ncaa.com, the first college soccer game was played in 1869 between Rutgers University and the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton University).

It also put Rutgers University in history’s glory by winning the first U.S. college football game against Princeton.

Thus, the sport began at Northeastern and continued to be played at these two universities, and was also adopted at schools such as Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia.

College Football is here to Stay

Matthew T. Himel, a historian at the University of Tennessee, has shown that in the 1890s college soccer games in the Northeast drew crowds in the tens of thousands and received extensive coverage in the New York press of those years.

Although it gradually grew in popularity in the South during the 1870s and 1880s, it now enjoys generation after generation of popularity throughout the United States and is now known to have fans around the world.
