When he graduated from Penn State as an academic All-American in the spring of 1987, he had a national championship ring and a reputation as a solid citizen who had no legitimate shot of making it in the National Football League. How is this possible? An NCAA Division I QB can have a national championship under his belt and not get drafted?

It's not as uncommon as you think. Charlie Ward even had a Heismann trophy and he wasn't drafted.

Some sports expert could fill in the blanks, but a quarterback named "Charlie Ward" (???) won the Heisman about 20 years ago, and wasn't drafted. He became a guard in the NBA for awhile. I don't know what became of him. He's probably too old now to play in either pro sport.
FYI...

If he either didn't pass much or was short...

I'm pretty sure Craig Krentzel of Ohio State (2002) was not drafted.
