FSU football career passing leader No. 6: Drew Weatherford (2004-08)

  • 7,567 passing yards
  • 39 passing touchdowns
  • 57.1% completion
  • 6.7 yards per attempt

As a redshirt freshman in 2005, Drew Weatherford was handed the keys to Bobby Bowden’s offense and proceeded to throw for 3,209 yards and 18 touchdowns, but he did have 18 interceptions.

It looked like the future was bright, but Weatherford regressed statistically in each of the next two seasons before losing his starting job to Christian Ponder in 2008, Weatherford’s redshirt senior season.
