Texas High School Quarterbacks are Featured on NFL.com’s The Season: A Biography Presented by SAP

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The state of Texas has always been synonymous with the game of high school football. However, an emergence of a new offensive system in their local high schools has impacted all levels of the game. Vanished are days of the wishbone and Wing-T offense. Today, the spread offense is admired under the Friday night lights. The result? An influx of NFL quarterbacks that hail from the Lone Star State.

 

Currently, eight NFL starting quarterbacks call Texas their home. The new wave quarterback development can all be traced back to one rule change which improved the skill of many young football players.

 

The latest installment of NFL.com’s The Season: A Biography Presented by SAP profiles the state of Texas as the new quarterback factory for the National Football League.
