Top Ten Scrambling QBs In History
Them highlight, Run'N'Gun, Feet Flight, QBs defenses hate!
Michael Dwayne Vick (born June 26, 1980) is a former American football quarterback who played 13 seasons in the National Football League, primarily with the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles. He played college football at Virginia Tech and was selected by the Falcons as the first overall pick ...read more. If he didn't have to go to jail he could have been able to develop his pocket passing, but lets be honest he did some things with his feet that would last on SC for weeks.
Best qb I've ever seen
Overrated but fast
Randall W. Cunningham is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League and current football coach and pastor. He was better at it in his prime than anybody I've ever seen. There were just two problems:
1) His prime was short due to injury because of inability to protect himself.
2) Either he, or the league at that time (or a combination of both) didn't focus on running QB's AT ALL - like they do today, and so he spent most of his running on just scrambling behind the line of scrimmage trying to give his WR's time to get open rather than trying to run downfield to get yardage.
If it was possible to track "total yards run" (either behind or after the line of scrimmage)...which it obviously is not, I have little to no doubt that he scrambled for more yards than MIchael Vick ran for and was quite simply better at it - in my humble opinion.
Vick might've been a better "runner" (at least he had more "impressive" runs more often as Randall just chose not to run a lot), but Randall SCRAMBLED better than anybody I've ever seen.
Not big, not extremely fast, but elusive as quicksilver, and made the Vikings a fun team to watch.
Dude had eyes in the back of his horns.
He should be no. 1
Jon Steven Young is a former professional American football quarterback who played 15 seasons in the National Football League and is best known for his 13 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Steve was one of the greatest QB's of all time. Period. He was MONEY down the stretch and was an underrated runner. Don't forget that "The Catch: II" would never have happened if Steve wasn't a scrambler.
Cameron Jerrell Newton is an American football quarterback for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League. He had previously played with the Carolina Panthers from 2011 to 2019, and for the New England Patriots in 2020. In November 2021, he signed with his old team, the Carolina Panthers. Cam Newton revolutionized the game, great runner and thrower with unrivaled arm strength and throw power. No other running QB has had the power run capability of 6'5" 245 Cam Newton
He's fast enough to beat linebackers, big enough to get through them, and strong and smart enough not to get hurt.
Cam Newton by far is the best QB on this list so why is he #9 that is undermining his ability.
This guy is dope
He should be second
Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. Don't get it twisted the man can move. That Championship belt celebration came from rushing touchdowns! 18 Rushing touchdowns!
Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and formerly for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. He should be higher than Cam and Colin.
He is a good scrambler
McNair was Cam Newton before Cam Newton was old enough to understand play action. He wasn't as fast as, say, Cunningham or Vick, but he was a big ol' drink o' water and got within one lousy yard of almost singlehandedly dragging what was pretty much an expansion team to a championship. Add on the fact that he was rarely hurt too bad to play, and we have a top 10 scrambler.
Started out in Pitt as a converted to be a hell of a QB. Did big things until getting gypped and benched for a bum like Tommy Maddox.
Colin Rand Kaepernick (born November 3, 1987) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent.

John Albert Elway Jr. is a former American football quarterback and current executive vice president of football operations and general manager of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League.
Roger Thomas Staubach, nicknamed Captain America and Captain Comeback, is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League. If he wasn't a scrambling qb, then he wouldn't be nicknamed roger dodger
Otto Everett Graham Jr. was an American football quarterback who played for the Cleveland Browns in the All-America Football Conference and National Football League.
Drew Christopher Brees is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League.
He is the only player to have back to back to back 5,000 yards in three seasons straight. Brees also has the all time best completion percentage with 66.95%.
Should be number one, way better than all the other QB's on this list. He's leading the Browns to a Super Bowl victory this year #facts
