Okay, so I’ve been diving into this whole “left-handed quarterbacks in the NFL” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rabbit hole. I started out just curious, you know, casual fan stuff. But then I got really into it.

The Initial Spark
It all began with a simple question: How many southpaws are actually slinging the pigskin in the pros? I figured, “Hey, I can just Google this, no problem.”
The Deep Dive
So, I fired up the search engine, and, yeah, there were some immediate answers. But it wasn’t as straightforward as I’d hoped. Some sites listed different numbers, others were outdated, and some, that would be totally unhelpful. This is where the real work started. I began by:
- Compiling Names:I started making a list from various sources – news articles, fan forums, you name it.
- Cross-Referencing:I used websites dedicated to player stats, comparing their listed throwing hand. This was to check that, yes they really are lefty.
- Double-Checking:I even watched some game highlights! Gotta make sure that guy is actually throwing with his left hand, right?
The Result
After all that digging, I found out that, it has always been a very rare position. But I am satisfied with the results.
This whole thing started as a simple question and turned into a mini-research project. But hey, that’s what makes being a fan fun, right? You never know what you’ll end up learning!
