Left-handed quarterbacks make their mark in NFL history as new talent emerges

sportingnews.com

Left-handed quarterbacks are rare in the NFL, with Tua Tagovailoa being a notable recent addition. Michael Penix Jr. became the second active left-handed starter after the Falcons benched Kirk Cousins, giving him a chance to lead the team in his rookie season. Steve Young is often regarded as the best left-handed quarterback, with two MVP awards and a Super Bowl win. Other notable left-handed QBs include Ken Stabler, Michael Vick, and Boomer Esiason, each with significant achievements in their careers. Penix, drafted eighth overall in 2024, aims to join the ranks of successful left-handed quarterbacks. His performance could mark a resurgence for left-handed signal-callers in the league.
