Norm Van Brocklin
Norm Van Brocklin, a well-known NFL great in the 1950s, led the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles to championships in less than a decade. Despite his brief 12-season career, Van Brocklin was selected to nine Pro Bowls, cementing his place as one of the game’s most respected players. Although his career statistics do not compare to those of modern quarterbacks, Van Brocklin’s strong arm enabled him to reach an incredible average of 8.2 yards per pass attempt throughout his career, the third-best record in NFL history. His reputation as “The Dutchman” is a lasting tribute to his influence on the game.
Philip Rivers
Philip Rivers’ exposure and recognition have been overshadowed by the presence of quarterbacks Brady, Manning, and Brees, as well as his time with the Los Angeles Chargers. This team receives little national coverage. However, Rivers’ continually excellent numbers solidify his place among the all-time greats. He is currently rated sixth in passing yards and aims to move up even higher as his career unfolds. Since 2006, Rivers has reached the 3,000-yard mark every season and has passed for 4,000 yards in 11 of the last 12 seasons. Although his poor postseason performance has harmed his legacy, his incredible stretch of consecutive starts since 2006 is genuinely noteworthy.
