It's not every day you see a left-handed quarterback in the modern NFL, but over the years, a few lefties have made their mark on the league.

On average, about 10 percent of the human population is left-handed. However, of the over 700 men that have played quarterback in at least one NFL game since the merger in 1965, only 26 of them have been left-handed.
Lefty quarterbacks are as rare as they've ever been in 2023, with the only left-handed signal caller currently signed to a roster being Miami's Tua Tagovailoa.
Despite the odds, there have been some excellent lefty quarterbacks over the last few decades, including two Hall of Famers, a former MVP, and one of the best redemption stories in NFL history.
