5. Scott Frost, UCF Knights: Frost blossomed after transferring from Stanford to Nebraska, where he had a 24-2 record as the team's quarterback and helped the Huskers to a co-national title in 1997. As a senior, Frost became just the 10th player in college football history to eclipse 1,000 rush yards and 1,000 pass yards in a season. A New York Jets third-round draft pick, Frost played safety and special teams while spending time with four NFL organizations.

It's amazing to me that in the last 20 years that a player who was a QB in college gets drafted that high as a safety. I mean, 3rd round picks are supposed to help build a team. Says a lot about his athletic ability and him as a person.

They knew he was athletic. Same would have happened with Tebow.

Matt Jones was a first round pick by the Jaguars in 2005, played QB 4 years in college, but was drafted as a WR.

Yes, I remember that. Fooled everyone at the combine with some amazing performances. I'm sure there are others, but a QB to defense is even more amazing.

I think Denver foolishly drafted him with the intention of being a QB. Ultimately, Tebow became stubborn and just never gave in to a switch.
