I saw that show up on my Facebook page today. It had a picture of Ed Marinaro in his Cornell uniform as the clickbait photo. Too bad Ed never won it. But then again, those types of articles are never too concerned about accuracy.

Hard to label Wienke a bust. 4th round pick who was a serviceable starter in 7 NFL seasons...that's great value.

Same with Toretta. He was taken in the 7th round so expectations were never high

Heck, Jason White wasn’t even drafted. Dumb list

The reason I shared this article was to see if it evoke memories of these players. Reading through the list I can remember watching or reading about each player. Flutes pass, Danes epic runs, Staubach having to forgo the draft to serve in Vietnam etc.

Weinke went 2-18 in the NFL. I believe worst winning % of QBs with 20+ starts in league history. Davis Mills may catch him though.
