List of quarterbacks of non-white and non-black descent or ancestry

This is a list of notable quarterbacks who are of races besides African or white descent who have played American or Canadian football professionally or in college. In professional and college football, the quarterback position, often considered the most important position in the sport, has historically been mostly white, with black quarterbacks growing in number since the latter half of the 20th century despite race-related struggles. In 2013, only 1% of quarterbacks in the National Football League were of other races.[1] This list will focus on quarterbacks who have ancestry from other races, such as Latin American (also includes the Caribbean), Asian (including East, South, Southeast, and Central Asian as well as Middle Eastern), Pacific Islander (also includes Indigenous Australians), and Native American. This list also counts quarterbacks of white or black descent as long as they also have ancestry from other races.
