Tua has the tribal full sleeve that almost all Poly’s have. Dak Prescott is another that has a full sleeve and many other tattoos (other arm and neck area).

Cartoonish clown Colin ‘Tucan’ Kaepernick had the arm sleeves. Then there are the dark negros, like Lamar Jackson, who have lots of tats that are harder to see.
Regarding White QBs, I think it is extremely rare and virtually impossible find any with a ton of ink. Guys like Rodgers and Mayfield have a few for example.

Thanks for the reply, Freethinker. I had forgotten about Tua and Prescott, but didn't realize all the other blacks. I guess it's hard tell green ink on dark skin?

I brought this up because I remember Cam Newton having to promise Carolina's founder he would not grow his hair long (dread locks) or get tattoo's before he was drafted #1 overall. Also, I wondered why Carson Beck is the first serious White QB prospect sporting significant, notable tattoo's? Noticeable tattoo's are much more prevalent for top White O-line prospects.

This made me wonder, why so few (almost none) "elite" White QB prospects have significant, notable tattoo's? Is it because they fear it will effect their draft stock? Perhaps teams don't want the "face" of their franchise all tatted up? Word spreads quick among the 4 and 5 star QB's that "sleeves" could effect their perception and draft stock in the future? I believe this is quite possible.

Tyson Bagent has a ton, but he went the D-II route. He probably never expected to be in the NFL. I assume Rodgers and Mayfield got their less prominent "tats" after they were drafted.

In fact, I’d wager that most of the black QBs have tats as “it be part of dey cultcha”.

This is why I'd prefer not see White's all tatted up. No reason to emulate "that" culture. Absolutely no reason for it!!! Also for "safety" reasons. Google "tattoo's and dangerous" and one can understand why they might not be a good idea, health wise, long term.

Was trying to watch the SMU vs U of A Bowl Game but it's a snoozer. I feel so bad for Luke Hysong. He had almost 1000 yards a year ago
with New Mexico. He transfers to a bigger school and they have ignorred him most of the time. He has less than 300 yards receiving in
his senior year. So much for his nfl chances now. He has speed but they just don't want to throw to whitey. He shouldn't have transferred.
