Green is truly one of the most underrated quarterbacks of his generation. He had a rough start where he had to overcome a low-round draft pick and a stint in the CFL. But by the end of everything, he had braved all the hardships and had a good career overall.
The Chiefs had him as a consistent option at the position, and he was right at the threshold of some of the best seasons in the franchise’s history.
Kerry Collins
One of the most anticipated and hyped quarterback draft picks in the history of NFL, Collins was taken by the Panthers as the 5th overall in 1995.
Since he was highly addicted to alcohol, Carolina made him depart after a certain point in time. However, with his skills, he came back as a starter with the Raiders, Giants, and Titans and shaped a shining career for himself. Everyone knows him as a name that comes in the top 20 all-time in total passing yards in the NFL.
Sing Us A Song
After retiring in 2011, Collins wanted to be a songwriter. The man has a great passion for music and has many songs recorded by several country artists.
He is the owner of a ranch in North Carolina and a farm in Tennessee and seems to be leading quite a content life after moving away from being in front of the limelight for sixteen long years.
Overshadowed
But Green did not get the recognition he deserved since he got overshadowed by some of the other players in the Y2K era. Needless to say, he did not have a long career and had moved on to broadcasting after retirement.
Currently, he has become an analyst for CBS and has received many humanitarian awards. Though Green could not make a prominent mark anywhere, his career never came to a standstill.
Quincy Carter
The world was first introduced to Carter when he became a replacement for Troy Aikman. However, it was the failure of the Cowboys that they were not able to develop him into a franchise player.
The man had an immense love for football. For this reason, after giving way to a series of failed stints with the Jets in Dallas, he kept on trying to bounce back to several peripheral leagues. Carter did not stop because of the blocks that he had faced and tried to play the game in any possible way.
