NEW ORLEANS -- Call this year's Super Bowl the battle of the QB Davids.
Delaware alum Joe Flacco and Nevada alum Colin Kaepernick were, in college, about as far removed from the glitz and glamour of big-time football as you can imagine.
Which could bode well for the following five quarterback prospects, who all hail from non-traditional football schools.
So, if one of these 2013 NFL draft candidates start in the Super Bowl one day, remember where you heard about them first.
4. James Stallons Specs: 6-6, 210 pounds
School: Shaw University (enrollment: 2,265)
Stats: Stallons' 3,101 passing yards last year shattered the Shaw record by nearly 1,000 yards. He also led the conference with 310.1 yards per game.
Fake scout says: Stallons is a big-armed pocket passer who will have to get rid of the ball quicker if he wants to sniff any playing time at the next level.
Potential Super Bowl puff piece: Stallons is the first white quarterback in Shaw history. A transfer who started his college career at Wisconsin, Stallons says he chose the small North Carolina school because it had won four CIAA championships since 2003.
Odds of playing in a Super Bowl: Slim. Sure, he's big, but unless Stallons develops a Marino-like release or goes to a team with a stellar O-line, he's toast.
