Carson Palmer was a 4* recruit and wasn't ever considered top 5 in his class

Ronald Curry
Drew Henson
Matt Holiday
Jared Jones
Corey Paus

And that's excluding Vick, because noone knew how to properly rate him.

Pre-Sark Palmer completed 56.7% of his passes 7.15 ypa 29TD:30INT 121.4 rating 11-13 record. SR year with 1st year as Sark as QB Coach 63.2% 8.06 ypa 33TD:10INT 149.1 rating 11-2 record wins the heisman out of nowhere and jumps from potential mid round pick to #1 overall

Leinart was also a 4* behind Mauer, Croyle, Derek Anderson and DJ Shockley

Locker was a 4* #68 overall and viewed as a complete bust after his first 2 years. He went 3-13 and completed 48.7% of his passes 6.11 ypa 15 TD:15INT 104.7 rating pre-sark. In comes Sark, 56.9 completion % 6.97 ypa 38TD:20INT 127.2 QB rating w/ Sark and he gets drafted #11 overall, would have been #1 if he'd left Jr year

Lincoln Riley was a graduate assistant at Tech for the entirety of Sam Bradford's college career

Also LOL @ giving Riley credit for Hurts. His numbers were almost identical per play his jr year @ Bama, might as well give Sark credit for him since he was on the staff Jalen's freshman year

Kyler Murray was a 5* #2 dual threat qb #30 overall
Caleb Williams 5* #2 qb #8 overall

Baker Mayfield was a product of Kingsbury, as is Riley. They air raid is a gimmick offense and it's likely why Malachi Nelson just bailed on USC, it's a sinking ship
