Drew Bennett played QB at UCLA but as a WR for the Titans in 2004 he caught 80 passes for 1257 yards and 11 tds.
Scott Frost won the Heisman Award as a QB for Nebraska in 1997 but played DB in the NFL for 5 seasons.
Steelers WR Antwaan Randle El was a 4 year starter at QB at Indiana. In his 8 year NFL career he completed 23 of 30 passes for 366 yards and 7 tds (including a 43 yarder in the '05 Super Bowl)
Terrelle Pryor had 1007 receiving yards for the Browns in '16.
Brad Smith was a 4 year starter at QB at Missouri, but in the NFL he only had 1 passing td. However he had 4 rushing, 5 receiving, and 5 returning kicks.
I am sure some of you guys know more examples.
There were several college QB's converted to safeties in the NFL back in the day.
