context_page_description: This is a list of notable left-handed quarterbacks who have played professionally or for a major college program. In gridiron football, quarterbacks have been predominantly right-handed with a few notable exceptions. While left-dominant people make up 10% of the general population, only 0.85% of NFL pass-throwers were left-handed in 2017. As of 2019, there are no left-handed quarterbacks in the NFL.
  Former NFL quarterback and current analyst David Carr cited a lower number of left-handed quarterbacks to be due to the fact that plays are usually drawn assuming a right-handed pass-thrower, which may explain some struggles left-handed quarterbacks have. However, several have had successful careers, such as Boomer Esiason, Mark Brunell, Tim Tebow and Michael Vick, with two, Ken Stabler and Steve Young, being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
