While the Super Bowl pits two quarterbacks who were both MLB draft picks, Russell Wilson and Tom Brady aren't the only signal callers who thrived in multiple sports . The potential No. 1 pick in this year's NFL draft, Jameis Winston, was also a baseball star for the Seminoles. And in the high school ranks, the nation's top-rated quarterback, Texas A&M commit Kyler Murray, could be an early-round MLB draft pick even though most expect him to play football in college.
Here's a look at six high school and college quarterbacks who have also excelled on the diamond:
Jameis Winston
Winston might've played quarterback in his home state of Alabama coming out of high school, but he was never interested in just being a football player. Winston's skills on the baseball field got him drafted in the 15th round by the Texas Rangers, but he turned down that offer, too, choosing instead to play both sports at Florida State. On the football field, he was transcendent, winning the Heisman Trophy and a national championship as a redshirt freshman in 2013 and finishing his career 26-1 as the Seminoles' starting QB. On the diamond, he never quite reached that same level of success, but for two seasons he served as one of the team's top relief pitchers, posting a 1.08 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 24 appearances in 2014. Winston routinely said he hoped to play both sports professionally, but it appears clear that football is his future now after he announced he'd enter the 2015 NFL draft this month. -- David M. Hale
Kyler Murray
The nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback and a Texas A&M commit, Murray is considered by many draft experts as a top-30 prospect for the 2015 MLB draft. Murray is the first player to be selected to play for both the Under Armour All-America Baseball and Under Armour Football games, and he stars as a shortstop on the diamond and baseball scouts love his fielding ability, speed and big bat. His MLB draft status may suffer given that he's widely expected to head to college, but there's no question he's one of the most accomplished two-sport stars in recent memory. -- Jeremy Crabtree
Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes' biggest impact on Texas Tech's athletic program was supposed to come on the baseball diamond during his first year on campus. Instead, he became the Red Raiders' starting quarterback for the final third of his true freshman season, finishing with 1,547 yards and 16 touchdowns while setting Big 12 freshman records for passing yards (598) and touchdowns (six) in a single game against Baylor. Selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB Draft, Mahomes chose Tech instead of professional baseball. A pitcher who was considered among the best pitchers in Texas, Mahomes plans to begin his collegiate baseball career with the Red Raiders this spring. -- Brandon Chatmon
Cody Thomas
Thomas went 2-1 while starting Oklahoma's final three games of the regular season. The lanky quarterback finished with 342 passing yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions as a redshirt freshman. Yet his first action in a crimson-and-cream uniform came on the baseball diamond as an outfielder for the Sooners. Splitting time between spring football and baseball, Thomas appeared in 14 games with a .083 batting average, one hit and one run during the spring of 2014. Thomas, who was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 30th round of the 2013 MLB draft, was primarily used as a pinch runner during his first year on the OU baseball team. -- Brandon Chatmon
Shane Buechele
Shane Buechele ranks as the eighth-best dual-threat quarterback in the 2016 class, and he's also the son of former MLB player Steve Buechele. He already offers from TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as Kentucky. Baylor, Stanford and Texas A&M also are showing interest in the 6-foot-1, 180-pound quarterback who just finished his junior year. He's also a name scouts are talking about for his ability as a shortstop and pitcher. -- Jeremy Crabtree
Jeff Driskel
A two-sport star in high school, Driskel signed with Florida as the top quarterback prospect in 2011, but was an excellent baseball outfield prospect as well. He was drafted in the 29th round of the MLB draft by the Boston Red Sox in 2013 and later signed with Boston. Driskel, who had a very tumultuous career at Florida, transferred to Louisiana Tech in January, but now has baseball as a backup plan if football doesn't work out after his time with the Bulldogs. -- Edward Aschoff
