Seattle Dragons: 10 QBs with local ties they should consider
Eastern Washington Eagles
Vernon Adams
After three years at EWU (2012-14), Vernon Adams transferred to Oregon for his senior year. He was the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year, throwing for 2,643 yards and 28 touchdowns in 10 games.
Since 2016, Adams has been in the Canadian Football League. The dual-threat QB currently plays for Montreal.

Bo Levi Mitchell
Eastern Washington’s quarterback before Adams, Bo Levi Mitchell, led the Eagles to the 2010 FCS National Championship. He went undrafted out of college and signed with the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders.
Mitchell has been with Calgary for 10 seasons, leading the Stampeders to two Grey Cups. Injuries limited his effectiveness in 2021, and he lost his starting job.
So far, Mitchell hasn’t played in 2022. He may be looking for a new challenge.
At Katy High, he won a Texas state championship.
At Eastern Washington, he won a FCS national championship.
At Calgary, he's now led the Stampeders to two Grey Cup championships.
