QB draft picks last 11 years & 26-27-60 rule

But could a simple formula have warned us of Russell's lack of NFL readiness? And Ryan Leaf's and David Carr's and other failed, high-pick quarterbacks? Call it the Rule of 26-27-60. Here is the gist of it: If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level. Since 1998, these are some of the NFL quarterbacks who aced all three parts of the Rule of 26-27-60: Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Stafford. link 2000 Gio Carmazzi 32/35/64 - Hofstra 2000 Tim Rattay 27/33/65 - Louisiana Tech 2002 Brandon Doman 27/16/62- BYU 2003 Ken Dorsey 25/39/57 - Miami 2004 Cody Pickett 20/15/57 - Washington 2005 Alex Smith 40/ 22/66- Utah 2009 Nate Davis 11/22/60- Ball State 2011 Colin Kaepernick:37/47/58- Nevada Reno Not drafted by 49ers: Jeff Garcia: NA/33/57 Hill, Shaun 25/16/58 - Maryland Rodgers, Aaron 35/ 22/63.5- California I'm excited that Kaepernick is close to following this rule. I hope though that his success at Reno can translate to the NFL, as Carmazzi had a tough time going from division IA to the real deal and Rattay had really nice numbers but those were at L-Tech. I hope the WAC stands as a tougher test.
