While statistics in the early days of the NFL are somewhat incomplete, the first recorded TD pass thrown by a Michigan alum was in 1921 by Tommy Hughitt of the Buffalo All Americans.
Hughitt was player/head coach for Buffalo for 5 seasons (1920-1924) and had a career record of 29-15-7 against other NFL teams.

Chad Henne, John Navarre, Drew Henson, Todd Collins, Tom Brady, Brian Greise, Elvis Grbac, are Jim Harbaugh are just some of the Michigan graduates who moved on to play in the NFL as QBs.
the nfl has a payroll of roughly 100,000 people each year
Yes they do but only if the coach wants him to have it for a specific reason. Like if he's not the already quarterback who can't remember the plays. Yeah yeah if he wasn't that smart then why would the coach put him as QB. He might be the best dang QB in the world.
In 2009, there are no Mannings playing college football who are in Archie Mannings immediate family. Archie is retired from the NFL, Peyton and Eli are currently starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and Cooper Manning, Archies' oldest son, was an All-State High School receiver, until he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which effectively put an end to his football career. There are certainly hundreds of Mannings in college football today, but none of them are Archie Mannings son.
Statistically: 1. Favre 2. Brady 3. Montana 4. P Manning 5. Elway 6. Unitas 7. Marino Ther are many quarterbacks that would be considered for this. Of course with Brett Favre retiering that is going to make an impact on this list. 1) Joe Montana 2) Dan Marino 3) Brett Favre 4) Johnny Unitas 5) John Elway These are the retired quarterbacks that I would put on my top five. This list will change over the years when Brady and Manning retire.
the 'in the grasp' rule was first out into use in 1979.
