There’s no question that the 21st century has provided fans with a litany of unforgettable quarterbacks. From memorability to team success to production to historical importance, these are all things that matter when you’re talking about the greatest college football quarterbacks of all time.

While the Heisman is certainly about awarding the best player in college football their due, there is also a great deal of narrative and stardom that goes into handing out the award. There’s a reason 12 of the last 14 winners of the Heisman Trophy have been quarterbacks. While the college game may not necessitate a team having a great quarterback as the NFL does, there is no quicker path to becoming a college legend than to touch the ball on virtually every offensive play. In the spectrum of college football, no position allows you to be a star quite like the quarterback. Ranking the 30 best college football quarterbacks of the 21st Century, including Cam Newton, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence, and Joe Burrow.
