The 'NFL Draft first round quarterback selections since 2000' quiz

Happy 41st birthday to former No. 1 overall NFL draft pick three-time Pro Bowler and 2020 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Alex Smith!

Smith's career was one of overcoming adversity. After getting injured and losing his starting job to Colin Kaepernick in 2012, he went to Kansas City where he was solid but eventually usurped by one Patrick Mahomes. Then he went to Washington, where he suffered a horrific leg injury that ended his 2018 season, cost him his entire 2019 year and nearly his life. 

He eventually came back to start six games in 2020, going 5-1 with 1,582 yards and six touchdowns. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Since the year 2000, a total of 77 quarterbacks have been selected in the first round of the annual NFL Draft. How many of the 77 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
