Drew Stanton NFL Draft Bio

Drew Stanton (born May 7, 1984 in Farmington Hills, Michigan) is an American football quarterback (QB) who plays for the Michigan State Spartans.

Drew grew up in Okemos, Michigan. Okemos is a large suburb of Lansing which borders the campus of Michigan State. While growing up in Okemos, Drew suffered a bike collision. A pebble was lodged under his skin during the accident. Because doctors did not think it necessary, the rock was never removed, and thus remains there to this day. Due to this, Stanton received the nickname "Rocky". His family moved to Lake Oswego Oregon where he played peewee-football to freshman year in high school. He was a Star playing football and baseball wining multiple titles. The Stanton family moved to Farmington Hills, Michigan, where he graduated from Harrison High School.

Stanton was ranked as a 4 star prospect coming out of high school by rivals.com, and was also ranked the #6 Pro-Style Quarterback in the country[1]. He red shirted through Michigan State's 2002 campaign before serving as the #2 QB behind Jeff Smoker in 2003. In 2003, he also on special teams where he made several impressive open field tackles. Since becoming the starter in 2004, Drew has received regional and national praise for his play on the field and has also been named an Academic All-American.

Going into his senior season (2006), Stanton has been mentioned as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate and has been listed as high as the #2 QB in the 2007 NFL Draft by ESPN[citation needed]. Despite not having any substantial injuries in his high school and early college years, Stanton has suffered at least one significant injury in each of the past three seasons. For his career at MSU through his junior year, Stanton has completed 65.7% of his passes and thrown for 4,717 yards, 30 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
