Kansas football all-time leaders in passing yards

No. 1: (And it ain't close) Todd Reesing, 2006-09, 11,194 yards

Generously listed as 5'11", 200 pounds, Reesing was maybe the greatest college football player ever at Kansas, and that includes Pro Football Hall of Famers Gale Sayers and John Riggins. He has nearly twice as many passing yards as Seurer and only 11 quarterbacks in school history have as many career passing yards as he had in any one of his final three seasons.

He was also the catalyst to the program's greatest season. In 2007, the Kansas football team finished 12-1 and was ranked as high as second. Reesing threw for 3,486 yards, a school-record 33 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions. His passing yardage number that season was only the third best of his career. This season culminated in an Orange Bowl victory.

In his four seasons at KU, the Jayhawks went 31-19, and it was the last hurrah for a program that did a historical nose dive into oblivion after Reesing's final year. He finished in the top eight nationally in passing yards in both 2008 and 2009, and was sixth in touchdown tosses in 2007. No other Kansas football player has thrown for 40 or more touchdowns and Reesing had 90.

No one is close to Reesing statistically or in his overall contributions to the program. While there are some players on the current KU roster that are making a mighty impact in turning around a completely broken and irrelevant program into a competitive and very relevant football school, Reesing's numbers stand alone in school history.

There is little chance of any quarterback matching, let alone exceeding his for the Kansas Jayhawks. He was one of a kind and will have a place forever in the hearts of KU fans everywhere.
