The world first came to know Hasselbeck in the late 1990s as the player who was Brett Favre’s backup in Green Bay. He then moved on to the Seattle Seahawks, who acquired him before the start of the 2001 season.
He played in the starting position for them throughout the entire time of the decade and achieved three Pro Bowl selections. It was because of him that the Seattle Seahawks got into the Super Bowl XL in 2005.
Brad Johnson
Johnson, one of the most famous quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, played in the World League of Football initially but then moved on to the position of a division-winning quarterback for the Washington Redskins. He also went on to become a Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
His career graph slumped after he started playing as a backup for the Dallas Cowboys and then called it quits in 2008.
Toys for Tots
Johnson has stayed out of the field post-retirement and engages himself in the support of several philanthropic organizations like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Brad’s Buddies, Children’s Miracle Network, and Gillette Children’s Hospital.
He also takes an active part in Toys for Tots and United Way’s Hometown Huddle and is the host of a golf event that is beneficial for the Ronald McDonald House.
His Brother Took Him Along
Hasselback announced his retirement in 2016 and moved on to work with his brother Tim, who is an analyst for ESPN.
He was successful in replacing the super-famous head coach Mike Ditka on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown Show and also appears on the broadcast of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
Michael Vick
Vick’s time on the field was full of ups and downs from the moment he started playing for Virginia Tech Hokies after arriving in Blacksburg, Virginia. His extraordinary talent made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft.
Vick was considered by many as one of the youngest players to show such skills on the field. However, he got involved in some crimes and legal troubles, which forced him to remain behind bars for some time.
