Only Del Gaizo – and him only for part of his college career – played college football within any state comprising part of the Northeastern Census division.<br /><br />The complete absence (at least based on NFL players and draftees) of left-handed quarterbacks from some eras (1954 to 1967, since 2010) and some entire regions (Great Lakes, Northeast) of the United States is equally revealing a question as their general rarity.jpbenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664829103165280260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412403776367216933.post-76153296304152795172020-10-12T12:54:49.119-04:002020-10-12T12:54:49.119-04:00Ya'll just hold tight for about 8_9 years and ...Ya'll just hold tight for about 8_9 years and you will see the return of the southpaw.
