Quarterback U<\/h2>\n
Since the 1960s, Purdue University has been referred to as the \u201cCradle of Quarterbacks<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0If my math is correct, Boilermaker signal callers have started a record 928 regular-season NFL games since 1950, a figure that Drew Brees is slated to extend to 929 on Sunday.<\/p>\n The school\u2019s three Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks \u2014 Brees, Bob Griese and Len Dawson \u2014 ties it with Alabama for most all-time in that category. (Wisconsin? One. Russell Wilson, and we must share him with North Carolina State.) Even the Green Bay Packers have gotten in on some Purdue action: In 1939, they\u00a0won a pre-Super Bowl era NFL championship with alum Cecil Isbell under center.<\/p>\n Purdue\u2019s first-year head coach, Jeff Brohm, is a former NFL QB himself. His little brother Brian was drafted by the Packers in 2008 as a potential alternative<\/a> to first-year starter Aaron Rodgers and is now Purdue\u2019s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.<\/span>\n Remember when I said high-flying? I wasn\u2019t just talking about football. A staggering 23 future NASA astronauts have attended Purdue, including both the first and last men to walk on the moon: Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan, respectively. In fact, over one-third<\/a> of NASA\u2019s manned space missions have included at least one Purdue grad on the crew.<\/span>\n![\"Neil](\"http:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Purdue-Armstrong.jpg\")
