Left handed NFL Quarterbacks are very rare. Left handers make up 10% of the population and only .85% of NFL throwers per Five Thirty Eight. We've accumulated a list of left-handed quarterbacks.

While the Quarterback position in the NFL has always been mainly played by right-handers, notable retired lefties include Mark Brunell (JAX), Boomer Esiason (CIN, NYJ), Ken Stabler (OAK), Steve Young (TB, SF) and Jim Zorn (SEA).

Our information is based off NFL, Bleacher Report, Pro Football Hall of Fame, Rutgers University and Wikipedia.

Mike Shula was a REALLY hard to find left handed quarterback. He only played one season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Per Wiki, Shula's football career started with the Crimson Tide, where he was the starting quarterback from 1984 to 1986. The team's record during these three seasons was 24–11–1 (.681), with wins in the Aloha Bowl and the Sun Bowl, plus key victories over USC, Ohio State and Notre Dame. Despite a lack of overwhelming athletic ability or a particularly strong arm, Shula was known for his gutsy performances in big games. He engineered last-minute comebacks against rival Auburn in the 1985 Iron Bowl, and Georgia. After graduating from Alabama, Shula was selected in the 12 round as the 313th overall pick of the 1987 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he saw little playing time in 1987, his only season in the NFL.

Per "Saturday Down South", Mike Shula, was one of the top 5 left handed quarterbacks in SEC history. Al.com confirms that former Alabama players Ken Stabler and Mike Shula were both lefties.
