The 'NFL quarterbacks sacked the most times as a rookie' quiz

Happy 45th birthday to the first quarterback in Houston Texans history, David Carr!

While Carr will always be remembered as the starting signal caller for the inaugural Houston Texans squad, the marriage of a rookie QB and an expansion team in their first season predictably went poorly for both. The Texans went 4-12 in 2002 while allowing Carr to be sacked a staggering 76 times -- a record that still stands today.

Which brings us to today's quiz. How many of the NFL quarterbacks who were sacked at least 35 times in their rookie year campaign can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
