Quinn is considered as one of the most hyped quarterbacks coming out of the college. While the NFL is famous for never letting a player play for long, he is somebody whose career never got off the ground. He left Notre Dame after playing as one of the school’s most decorated players and then, in 2007, went on to the Cleveland Browns, who selected the polished and new him with the twenty-second overall pick.
However, Quinn’s time with the Browns did not last long. He played for only three last seasons quarterbacking and then shifted to four other teams. For a seven-year-long career, he never played for more than 9 games in one season. In fact, his interceptions were better than his touchdowns; he only had twelve touchdowns, which is a lot less compared to his seventeen interceptions. If looked at carefully, it can be said that Quinn’s success rate at the professional level was a stark difference from that at his college level.
Rex Grossman
In Super Bowl XLI, the world got divided. In their opinion, the Chicago Bears were defeated by the Indianapolis Colts. While half of the people went crazy over Peyton Manning having his first Super Bowl victory, the other half (mostly Chicago fans) hated the match because of the rain, turning it into a sloppy one! Most of the people detested Bear’s QB Rex Grossman’s performance, so much so that they threw an interception that ultimately sealed the game.
Though he played for nearly six seasons for the Bears, Grossman has only near about sixteen full games to his credit. Many people referred to him as Rex Glassman since he had severe durability issues. He could not hold himself together when the Bears took the decision to move on from their 1st round project. After the Texans signed him, Grossman moved to Washington.
Time For Business
He spent his time on the field mostly as a backup and a mentor and spent 3 out of 4 seasons like this as a Redskin. However, Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III were helped to a great extent due to this. Since the world does not find Grossman anymore on the field throwing the ball downfield to whoever is ready to take it from him, he spends his time nowadays in the business world.
The Florida Medical Staffing is a foundation that he founded, and it helps to assist nurses in Florida who wish to get employment there. It has not been in the news yet about how he has fared in this field so far, but sources say that the foundation has found quite some success. However, the nurses should not get intercepted on the way to their new jobs.
It's All In The Family
Quinn’s life outside the field spells a different story altogether. He tied the knot with Alicia Sacramone, who is an Olympic silver medalist in gymnastics.
The 3rd and Goal Foundation, run by him, is a non-profit organization that helps veterans to find housing and lodging. Apart from remaining busy in his organization, Quinn can often be seen as a television analyst on Fox.
Marc Bulger
The way Bulger climbed the stairs of stardom was unexpected for the world but no less remarkable in so many ways! Though he was drafted by the Saints in the 6th round out of West Virginia in 2000, he got waived before the end of the season. Again, Atlanta signed him as a practice squad player and then got waived. Ultimately, at the end of everything, the world saw him getting accepted in St. Louis, where he began as a practice squad player and then got promoted to backup. But his career melted down due to a long list of recurring injuries, due to which he left football and went into the starting lineup.
Bulger was named to 2 Pro Bowl teams and retained his starting job. It was at this time that he lead the Rams into playoffs on two occasions. To his credit, Bulger holds the record of the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach one thousand completions. This completion impressed the higher authorities so much so that this former backup player earned himself a new contract! Because of his striking numbers, Bulger was the highest-paid player in the history of the Rams.
