22. Gary Beban

Heisman win: 1967 season, UCLA (Senior) 

Drafted: 1968, Los Angeles Rams, 2nd round (30th overall) 

Gary Beban is the answer to a good trivia question: Which Heisman-winning QB completed only one pass in his entire NFL career? That's Beban, who was stuck behind Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen for two seasons in Washington before calling it a career. Beban, originally drafted by the Rams before being traded, appeared in just five NFL games total, rushing five times for 18 yards and completing that one pass for 12 yards. 

22. Gino Torretta

Heisman win: 1992 season, Miami (Senior) 

Drafted: 1993, Minnesota Vikings, 7th round (192 overall)

Torretta was 26-2 as a starter at Miami, where he led the Hurricanes to the 1991 national title, but he never started a single game in his short NFL career during backup stints with the Vikings, Lions, 49ers, Seahawks and Colts. His only NFL game action came in the Seahawks' 1996 regular season finale where he completed five passes on 16 attempts and threw a 41-yard touchdown in a win over the Raiders.   

21. John Huarte

Heisman win: 1964 season, Notre Dame (Senior)

Drafted: 1965, New York Jets (AFL), 2nd round (12th overall); Philadelphia Eagles (NFL), 6th round (76th overall) 

Huarte actually started an NFL game, which puts him ahead of Gino Torretta on this list, but he was also a journeyman backup QB in the pros. Drafted by both the AFL and the NFL, he played for four different franchises after winning the Heisman at Notre Dame in his senior season. His lone start came for the Eagles in 1968 where he went 7-of-15 for 110 yards and a TD. He finished his pro career with 19 completions, 48 attempts and that one TD.

20. Pat Sullivan

Heisman win: 1971 season, Auburn (Senior)

Drafted: 1972, Atlanta Falcons, 2nd round (40th overall)

Pat Sullivan was an NFL bust, but a second-round bust at that. Auburn's first Heisman winner didn't light it up in the pros like Bo Jackson or Cam Newton, starting just four games over four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, all losses. He finished his NFL career with 16 interceptions to just five touchdowns. On a lousy Falcons team that finished 3-11 in 1974, Sullivan tossed eight picks in six games while completing just 46 percent of his passes. Oof.

19. Andre Ware

Heisman win: 1989 season, Houston (Junior) 

Drafted: 1990, Detroit Lions, 1st round (No. 7 overall)

The first bona fide first-round draft bust on this list of Heisman passers. Ware made Heisman history as the first African-American QB to win the trophy following his electric junior season at Houston, where he threw for an absurd 4,699 yards and 46 touchdowns. But he was a colossal flop in Motown, playing in just 14 games in four forgettable seasons. After failing to latch on with the Los Angeles Raiders and the expansion Jacksonsville Jaguars in training camps, Ware was completely out out pro football by 1995. His pedestrian NFL career stat line: 83-for-161 for 1,112 yards, five TDs, eight interceptions and a 3-3 record as a starter. 

18. Johnny Manziel

Heisman win: 2012 season, Texas A&M (Freshman) 

Drafted: 2014, Cleveland Browns, 1st round (22nd overall)

Johnny Football was so money at Texas A&M, becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman. As for NFL firsts, Manziel is still definitely the only first-round draft pick to be photographed slugging champagne while riding an inflatable swan before even getting to his first mini-camp. Likewise for going AWOL before the last game of the 2015 regular season before being spotted in Vegas wearing a blond wig and playing blackjack under the alias "Billy." Manziel's short-lived NFL career was just one long TMZ story. The only thing the brash gunslinger wrecked in two disastrous seasons in Cleveland was his reputation as a viable NFL starter. He played in only 15 games, started eight and threw for just 1,675 yards and seven touchdowns. He's still just 25, but his disastrous four-interception CFL debut with the Montreal Alouettes hasn't done anything to convince NFL execs that's he's ready for another shot. 

17. Troy Smith

Heisman win: 2006 season, Ohio State (Senior) 

Drafted: 2007, Baltimore Ravens, 5th round (174th overall)

For a fifth-round draft pick, Troy Smith wasn't terrible. The average length of an NFL career for a quarterback is 4.4 seasons, according to NFLPA data, so he's just below average. For a Heisman winner, however, expectations are always different. Smith started two games as a rookie for the Ravens in a 5-11 season in 2007, which led to Brian Billick's firing, John Harbaugh's hiring and a new start at the QB position after the Ravens drafted Joe Flacco 18th overall. Flacco started all 32 regular season games over the next two seasons, with Smith as his backup. Smith eventually landed with the 49ers in 2010 where he went 3-3 as a starter. After failing to latch on with another NFL team, he played in the CFL and the UFL. 

16. Danny Wuerffel

Heisman win: 1996 season, Florida (Senior) 

Drafted: 1997, New Orleans Saints, 4th round (99th overall) 

Hey, what's Danny Wuerffel doing in a Florida State uniform? He's probably asking himself the same question in this photo after winning the Heisman and the national title in 1996 at Florida. Wuerffel and his Head Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, couldn't recreate any of that Gators magic in Washington, however, in what was Wuerffel's final stop in an unremarkable six-season NFL career. The Redskins went 7-9 in 2002 and missed the playoffs as Wuerffel threw six interceptions to just three touchdowns in seven games, going 2-2 as a starter. In Wuerffel's six NFL seasons, playing for four different teams, he threw just 12 TDs to 22 interceptions while going 4-6 as a starter. He did, however, get another championship, leading the Rhein Fire to an NFL Europe title in 2000 between NFL seasons. 

15. Chris Weinke

Heisman win: 2000 season, Florida State (Senior) 

Drafted: 2001 season, Carolina Panthers, 4th round (106th overall)

Chris Weinke played in parts of five NFL seasons, which isn't too bad considering he was 29 when the Panthers drafted him. But, wow, was Weinke's rookie year terrible. He won his first NFL start, then lost his next 14 in a miserable 1-15 season where the Panthers set a new NFL record for consecutive losses in a season (since eclipsed, of course). After that, he was relegated to clipboard duty behind Rodney Peete, then Jake Delhomme, and didn't see NFL game action again until 2005 when he relieved an injured Delhomme and threw a TD pass to Ricky Proehl in a 21-20 win over the Lions. He started just three more games in Carolina, in 2006, winning only one, and started the final game of the 2007 season for a 49ers team decimated by QB injuries before calling it a career. To go with the ugly 2-18 record as a starter, Weinke also threw 26 interceptions to just 15 touchdowns. 

14. Matt Leinart

Heisman win: 2004 season, Southern California (Junior)

Drafted: 2006, Arizona Cardinals, 1st round (10th overall) 

Leinart likely would have been the No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft had he come out after his Heisman season. Instead, he stayed at USC to chase a third straight national title, lost to Vince Young and Texas in an epic BCS title game at the Rose Bowl, and then went 10th overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2006. Leinart started 11 games in his rookie season in the desert, throwing 12 picks to 11 TDs and getting sacked 21 times. But after Kurt Warner took over in 2007, he could never win the starting job back. Warner would lead the Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII in 2008, nearly becoming the first starting QB to win a Lombardi Trophy with two teams while filling out his Hall of Fame resume. Leinart, meanwhile, was released by the Cardinals during training camp in 2010 and bounced around the NFL after that, starting just one more NFL game during stints with the Texans and Raiders. He was cut after five days with the Bills during the 2013 preseason and was out of football for good after that. 

13. Tim Tebow

Heisman win: 2007 season, Florida (Sophomore)

Drafted: 2010, Denver Broncos, 1st round (25th overall)

If you're a Tim Tebow fan, you think he should be No. 1 on this list and any other QB list ever made. If you're not, well this is exactly the right spot for a guy who never completed more than 50 percent of his passes and should have never been a first-round pick (we see you, Josh McDaniels). But he won a playoff game! But he was 8-6 as a starter! All true, but there was no way the Broncos were going to win a Super Bowl with Tebow under center. That's why John Elway went and bagged Peyton Manning after the 2011 season and shipped Tebow to the Jets, where the best work he did was running shirtless in the rain at practice. After failed training camp stints with the Patriots and Eagles, Tebow was out of the NFL and opted to pick up a bat and try his hand at baseball. He looked to be on his way to getting a call-up to The Show, too, this season before breaking his hand in Double-A ball. 

12. Ty Detmer

Heisman win: 1990 season, Brigham Young (Junior) 

Drafted: 1992, Green Bay Packers, 9th round (230th overall)

Ty Detmer threw for 5,188 yards in his Heisman-winning junior season and wrapped up a brilliant four-year run at BYU with 15,031 passing yards and 121 touchdowns. Dude was a college legend. But in the NFL, the only thing legendary about Detmer was the starting QBs he backed up in eight seasons playing for five different teams. He backed up a young Brett Favre in Green Bay, then pulled clipboard duty for Steve Young in 1998 in San Francisco. Over his eight NFL seasons, Detmer started 25 games and threw for 34 touchdowns and 35 picks. There were some highs, like going 7-4 as a starter for the Eagles during their run to the playoffs in 1996. But there also some brutal lows. Detmer started the first game for the reborn expansion Browns in 1999 and completed just six passes for 52 yards in a 43-0 pasting. The following season, in Detroit, Detmer tossed seven picks to the Browns in one game-- making him the most recent addition to the list of six QBs who hold that ignominious distinction. 

11. Steve Spurrier

Heisman win: 1966 season, Florida (Senior) 

Drafted: 1967, San Francisco 49ers, 1st round (3rd overall) 

Given where he was drafted, Spurrier was another first-round Heisman bust. He started just six games in his first five seasons in San Francisco and was just 13-24-1 as an NFL starter while tossing 60 intercpetions to 40 touchdowns over a 10-year career. He also started 12 games, all losses, for the 0-14 Buccaneers in 1976 -- his final NFL season. That said, Spurrier had the longest pro career of the three Florida Heisman winners on this list, so that counts for something. 

10. Robert Griffin III

Heisman win: 2011 season, Baylor (Junior) 

Drafted: 2012, Washington Redskins, 1st round (2nd overall)

Man, what could've been. RG3 will always have the Heisman and that dazzling rookie season in Washington where he set the NFL on fire, but the wheels completely fell off after that gross knee injury in the playoff game against the Seahawks. He feuded with Mike and Kyle Shanahan in 2013, who de-activated him for the final three games of a disastrous 3-13 season. He suffered through repeat concussions and injuries and lost the starting job to Kirk Cousins. Damaged goods by the time he arrived in Cleveland in 2016, Griffin was hoping that QB whisperer Hue Jackson could revive his NFL career. Instead, he blew out his shoulder in the opener and watched the Browns start the season 0-12. He returned to deliver Cleveland one measly win for Christmas that delayed the saddest parade in pro sports for a year. After a year away from the NFL, he signed with the Ravens this offseason on a one-year deal and played well enough in the preseason to make the team. But his days as a franchise QB are long gone. He's just 6-19 as a starter since that magical rookie season. 

9. Jameis Winston

Heisman win: 2013 season, Florida State (Freshman)

Drafted: 2015, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1st round (1st overall)

Which way you gonna go, Jameis? That's the question for a No. 1 pick who can't be labeled a bust yet but who hasn't lived up to his billing as a savior in Tampa Bay, especially after being suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season for allegedly groping an Uber driver. Winston has started all but three games in his first three NFL seasons and has already thrown for 11,646 yards and 69 touchdowns to 44 interceptions. The Bucs, however, are just 18-27 with him under center. Will he be the guy who ends Tampa Bay's 10-year playoff drought (the second-longest in the NFL) or will the Bucs decide his off-field issues aren't worth the headache and move on? 

8. Marcus Mariota

Heisman win: 2014, Oregon (Junior) 

Drafted: 2015, Tennessee Titans, 1st round (2nd overall)

Marcus Mariota was drafted a spot behind Jameis Winston in 2015 but the first Heisman winner from Hawaii is ahead of Winston on this list. He hasn't been as prolific as Winston through the air in the NFL, throwing for 9,579 yards and 58 TDs to 26 interceptions, but he's much more of a dual threat, averaging nearly six yards a carry. He regressed some last season after his breakout 2016 season, throwing 15 picks to 13 TDs. But all Titans fan remember is that he piloted their team to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. 

7. Sam Bradford

Heisman win: 2008 season, Oklahoma (Sophomore) 

Drafted: 2010, St. Louis Rams, 1st round (1st overall)

If this was a ranking of the most overpaid Heisman-winning NFL QBS, Sam Bradford wins in a rout. The former Oklahoma star hit the lottery before he ever played an NFL snap as the last No. 1 pick before the NFL's rookie wage scale. The Rams gave him a six-year, $78 million deal that included $50M guaranteed. In nine seasons, he's banked $129 million in total cash despite missing more than 40 games due to injury, including the entire 2014 season. Bradford has been a serviceable starting QB when he's been on the field. He threw 20 TDs to just five picks in his best season, in Minnesota, in 2016. But he's never made a Pro Bowl, nor led a team to the playoffs, and has averaged just 6.6 yards per attempt in his career. He's currently making $15.6M in guaranteed money this season from the Cardinals despite being benched after three starts for rookie Josh Rosen. 

6. Doug Flutie

Heisman win: 1984 season, Boston College (senior) 

Drafted: 1985, Los Angeles Rams, 11th round (285th overall)

Too high for the Magic Flutie? No way. The guy had one of the most singular careers in pro football history and his 38-28 record as an NFL starter proves he belongs right smack in the middle of a top 10 with six former No. 1 overall picks, two No. 2s and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Flutie was the overachiever who just wouldn't go away. The lowest-drafted Heisman winner ever played 21 pro seasons in three different leagues in two countries while throwing for 369 TDs and rushing for 82 more. He won three MVPs and three Grey Cups in the CFL before finally making it back to the NFL in 1998, where he made his first Pro Bowl at 36 in the same season that he won NFL Comeback Player of the Year. And he played seven more NFL seasons after that, retiring at 43 after successfully completing the NFL's first dropkick since 1941 in his final game. You might as well call it a mic drop. 

5. Jim Plunkett

Heisman win: 1970 season, Stanford (Senior) 

Drafted: 1971, New England Patriots, 1st round (1st overall) 

Is Plunkett a Hall of Famer? He's the only QB to win two Super Bowls who's not in Canton, which is why his name comes up every year in debates. But take away those two Super Bowl rings with the Raiders and you see Plunkett for who he was: A former No. 1 bust in New England who was just 34-53 as a starter with the Patriots, then 49ers, in seven seasons before revitalizing his career in Oakland. In 15 NFL seasons, he threw more picks (198) than TDs (164), never made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team, and completed just under 53 percent of his passes. In his best pro season, in 1983, his 20 TD passes and 2,935 yards passing was good for just 12th and 13th in the NFL. Even for his era, he was average. But he'll always have those Super Bowl triumphs, as well as his MVP trophy from Super Bowl XV. 

4. Vinny Testaverde

Heisman win: 1986 season, Miami (Senior) 

Drafted: 1987, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1st round (1st overall) 

You want nuts? Vinny Testaverde threw a touchdown pass in 21 straight NFL seasons. That's bananas. What to make of a career that spanned three decades and included stops with seven different NFL franchises? Testaverde ranks 13th all time in NFL passing yards (46,233), completions (3,787), and is 15th in touchdown passes (275). He also holds the mark for most QB losses with a 90-123 record as a starter and ranks fourth all-time for interceptions (267). The knock against his Hall of Fame case is that he was a compiler who was never truly elite, but it goes without saying that Testaverde played for some terrible teams, starting with the Bucs. If not for a muffed Jets punt in the AFC title game after the 1998 season, Testaverde might have played in a Super Bowl -- and rewrote his legacy. As is, he's a member of the Hall of Very Good.

3. Carson Palmer

Heisman win: 2002 season, Southern California (Senior) 

Drafted: 2003, Cincinnatti Bengals, 1st round (1st overall)

What if Carson Palmer didn't blow out his knee in that playoff game against the Steelers back in 2006? It's a question Palmer probably wonders about every day. Like Vinny Testaverde, Palmer has a compelling Hall of Fame case. He's 11th all-time for completions (3,941) and 12th in career passing yards (46,247) and touchdowns (294). Every name ahead of him on those lists is either in Canton or heading there after they're done playing. That Palmer only played in four playoff games and only won one will dog him, though, with voters since Hall of Fame QBs are always measured by playoff success and Super Bowls. Like Testaverde, too, he also played on some awful teams before landing in Arizona with Bruce Arians and Larry Fitzgerald. If he does make it to Canton, it certainly won't be on the first ballot. 

2. Cam Newton

Heisman win: 2010 season, Auburn (Junior)

Drafted: 2011, Carolina Panthers, first round (1st overall) 

Too fast to be that big. Too big to be that fast. Oh, and don't leave out the cannon right arm. Newton, built like a defensive end at 6-foot-6, 279 pounds, with a combine 40-yard dash time of 4.59 seconds, was an instant NFL smash, throwing for a record 422 yards in his first start en route to setting new rookie marks for passing and rushing yards. By 2015, he was the league's MVP on a 17-1 Panthers team favored to beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl. But then he got blasted by Von Miller and a swarming Denver defense, getting sacked seven times while coughing up the ball twice and throwing a pick. Newton still has plenty of time to get that Super Bowl ring, but his numbers regressed in 2016 and 2017. 

1. Roger Staubach

Heisman win: 1963 season, Navy (Junior) 

Drafted: 1964, Dallas Cowboys (NFL), 10th round (129th overall); Kansas City Chiefs (AFL), 16th round (122nd overall)

Captain America, Roger the Dodger, Captain Comeback -- whatever you want to call him, Staubach is an easy choice for the top spot on this list. The first-ballot Hall of Famer led the Cowboys to four Super Bowls as the team's starting QB in the 70s, winning two, and was MVP of Super Bowl VI. He was the first player to win Super Bowl MVP and the Heisman Trophy. Even more remarkable:  Staubach's 11-year NFL career came after his five years of service in the Navy, which included a tour in Vietnam.
