Don't forget about Jim Everett and Kyle Orton, their NFL careers may not have been awesome, but they collected a bunch of money and when you get to looking at all the QB's that come from that school, it's a really amazing list when you consider it's just Purdue.

Yeah, I knew about Everett but I forgot about Orton. Good grab. BTW, Kyle Orton's jersey number is 18. Why? It's his way to honor the late Brook Berringer.
