OK, guys, I may have fooled you a bit. Yes, this article is about the top 10 quarterbacks in the league. But when I say "hot," I'm not talking about their athletic abilities.

Although I am in love with football, I'm still a female. Every now and then my eyes gaze over to the sidelines to check those players out who are not wearing helmets.

So this one may be for the ladies.

But I know there are some of you guys out there who may be curious as to who made my list. Please, feel free...

10. Drew Brees

CHANDLER'S CROSS, UNITED KINGDOM - OCTOBER 22:  Drew Brees of New Orleans Saints talks to the media after a training session at The Grove Hotel on October 22, 2008 in Chandler's Cross, England.The NFL match between New Orleans Saints and San Diego Charger

Probably not what you expected. But there's just something about him.

Maybe it's because he's talented.

Or it could be that commercial he does with the little kids.

Who knows? He's just cute.

9. Tony Romo

As much as I hate myself for saying this right now, Tony Romo is just plain attractive.

I'm pretty sure it's the dimples. And I think Jessica Simpson will agree with me.

8. Matt Cassel

TAMPA, FL - JANUARY 31: Matt Cassel (L) and  Brady Quinn listen to ID Coach inventor Isaac Daniel at the launch of the Isaac Daniel, ID Coach at the Sheraton Riverwalk on January 31, 2009 in Tampa, Florida. The ID Coach system allows coaches to communicat

Yes, I hate the Patriots and Tom Brady. But I never had a problem with Matt Cassel.

In fact, I started to enjoy that he was the face of New England for a year. Maybe a little too much...

7. Philip Rivers

What can I say? He has a great build and a nice face. And he looks amazing in those baby blue throwbacks.

Not to mention the fact that he's a really good quarterback.

6. Aaron Rodgers

This guy has gorgeous eyes.

And any man that's brave enough to step up to try and fill Brett Favre's shoes automatically earns a heap of points in my book.

5. Matt Leinart

TEMPE, AZ - APRIL 27:  Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart (L) and actor Hugh Jackman arrive at the premiere of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' at the Harkins Theatres at Tempe Marketplace April 27, 2009 in Tempe, Arizona. The film opens nationwide in t

I'm sure everyone reading this probably guessed that Matt Leinart would make the list.

I mean, come on! The guy's standing next to Hugh Jackman, who was recently voted "Sexiest Man Alive" or something like that, and still looks incredible!

4. Mark Sanchez

Ok, I'm officially on the Mark Sanchez bandwagon. But only for his stunning good looks.

I watched him being interviewed on Draft Day and I must admit that the kid's got some brains on him as well.

Watch out, Joe Montana!

3. Matt Hasselbeck

He may sound like a young boy when he speaks, but he's another one with amazing eyes.

And a beautiful smile.

And let's not forget that Super Bowl appearance.

2. Trent Edwards

ORCHARD PARK, NY - SEPTEMBER 21: Trent Edwards #5 of the Buffalo Bills acknowledges fans as he runs off the field after defeating the Oakland Raiders on September 21, 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Buffalo won 24-23.   (Photo by R

No, I'm not being biased here. Trent has it all.

The looks. The smarts (a former Stanford grad). The wit.

Had he never played football, I'd still give him a double look. Or stare.

1. Kurt Warner

I have been in love with this man for as long as I can remember. He's a classic example of someone who gets better with age.

Kind of like a fine wine.

Plus, he's a really great guy. That's pretty hard to beat.
