Quarterback

File:250px-Football-Formation-QB.svg.png
**Quarterback** (commonly abbreviated to **QB**) is a position in American football. Quarterbacks are members of the offensive team and line up directly behind the Offensive Tackle, Offensive Guard, and Center. Quarterbacks are the leaders of the offensive team, responsible for calling the play in the huddle. Quarterbacks tend to either excel at passing and remaining protected behind their line (Pocket Passer) or they specialize in moving around outside of the pocket and making plays either via passing or running (Scrambling).

## History

Some famous quarterbacks:

* Jason Johnson, UCLA (2013)
* Christian Skaggs, Florida State (2013)
* Allan Taylor, Virginia Tech (2013)
* Kareem Taylor, Notre Dame (2013)
* Brian Brown, Boise State (2014)
* Aaron Kotar, Ohio State (2014)
* Blake Shell, Virginia Tech (2014)
* Nick Hall, Syracuse (2014)
* Aaron Devereaux, LSU (2015)
* Erik Wegert, Wisconsin (2015)
* Todd Lester, California (2015)

## Pocket vs Scrambling

Pocket passers tend to remain, almost exclusively, behind their line in the pocket. These types of quarterbacks tend to be able to air the ball out more and are usually more accurate than Scrambling quarterbacks. The major drawback to Pocket passers is their dependence on pocket protection by the offensive line.

Scrambling quarterbacks tend to be athletic, agile, and capable of quick decision-making. Scrambling quarterbacks possess excellent footwork and thus can throw the ball out of almost any possible position while on the run. These kinds of quarterbacks provide far more elusive play-making capabilities and are not nearly as dependent on the offensive line. The biggest drawback is their likelihood for injury.

Punter (football)

Normally when we think of football we think of passing or running the ball, and defending against passes and runs. However, there are other important parts of the game. At the beginning of each half, and after each score, one team kicks off and the other receives a kick. Each time an offense is stopped they punt the ball to the other side. After each touchdown there is a kick for an extra point. And frequently there are kicks for field goals. There are special players to handle each of these actions. The special players are members of what are called the special teams.

A football team will typically carry three special teams specialists on their roster. These three guys are a kicker, who will kick off the ball and attempt field goals and extra points. A punter, who punts the ball when the offense is stopped. And a long snapper, an extra center who specializes in snapping the ball 20 feet back be kicked or punted. Sometimes a team will have an existing player, for example a tight end, who can also long snap. Sometimes a team will carry an extra guy on the roster just because he is so good at tackling after a kickoff or a punt, or catching and returning kicks and punts.

On punts there will be two guys on the punting team lined up wide, like wide receivers. These two guys are called the gunners. They are the only players on the kicking team allowed to start running down field as soon as the ball is snapped. Everyone else on the kicking team must wait until the ball is kicked. The gunner's job is to try to get down the field as fast as the kicked ball and tackle whoever catches it. In the best case, they get there just before the ball and make the other team afraid to try to catch it. When a team lines up to punt, the other team lines up in a defense that is designed to also receive a punt. There will be one guy lined up about 40 yards back; he is the receiver, the player designated to catch the punt. There will also be a few guys lined up on the gunners. If the defense lines up two defenders on each gunner, then they are hoping to slow the gunners down, catch the punt, and try to run the punt back for a long gain or even a touchdown. If there is only one defender lined up on each gunner, then the receiving team has extra guys rushing the punter and they hope to block the punt.

On kickoffs, there's a special kind of kickoff called an on-side kick. If you kick the ball, after the ball has travelled 10 yards it is up for grabs. There's a group of players called the "hands" team that each team puts on the field if an onside kick is anticipated. These are tight ends, receivers, safeties, and cornerbacks - players who are accustomed to catching the ball.

Kwendi Nkwenti was born in Jupiter, Florida to two Nigerian parents. He grew up in a very strict household. Nkwenti became a star player for Jupiter High School, setting nearly every rushing record they have. He committed to Rice and headlined the recruiting class that head coach GoldenCatcus brought in. Nkwenti spent his freshman season behind senior running back Wayne Quinn before getting his chance as a sophomore in 2015. He had a mediocre season in a pass heavy offense. In 2016, head coach Bubada was hired and wanted Nkwenti to become the focal point of the offense. In his first game under Bubada, Nkwenti had 102 rushing yards and scored a game-winning 13 yard reception with 3 seconds left in the game to beat Indiana by 1. Ever since that moment, Nkwenti has been a fan favorite at Rice. Nkwenti went on to rush for 3,215 yards and 31 touchdowns in his career. He went undrafted but signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent. Nkwenti spent a season and a half as the #3 RB for the Cardinals before being let go.

Donahue is from a small town in Mississippi. He always dreamed of playing in the NFL. He drew interest from major teams in the SEC and Big XII but that interest vanished when he was kicked out of high school for possessing marijuana in his locker. Donahue turned to the nearby Northwest Mississippi Community College for a chance. He played two seasons at NMCC, alongside other NFL players: Tom Reis, Matthew O’Connor, and Leon Woodruff. He was the first JUCO player to ever commit to Rice and quickly won the starting position. Donahue struggled his first season trying to catch up to the speed of division I college football but had a hot start to his senior season, intercepting 3 passes and being named the national defensive player of the week against Oregon State. Donahue went on to set a Rice record 6 interceptions that year. Donahue impressed pro scouts with his intelligence and aggressiveness and was selected in the 3rd round of the 2019 NFLHC draft by the New Orleans Saints. He is currently the starting free safety for the Saints.
