Jim Kelly (left) and Dan Marino (right) are both Hall of Famers from the 1983 NFL Draft class.

The 1983 NFL Draft is one of the most famous in the game's history, for one key reason: the quarterback position.

NFL teams drafted six quarterbacks in the first round of that draft, a record which still stands today. And despite quarterbacks being difficult to project (not to mention develop), those six would have a lot of success between them, including three who went on to the Hall of Fame.

With this year's NFL draft also loaded at quarterback, now seemed like the perfect time to go back and see how the six from '83 fared.
