Hooky Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Who are the five QBs beside Peyton Manning that was a #1 overall draft pick and won a Super Bowl? I got 3. One is fairly obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Drew Bledsoe, though he was on the bench behind Tom Brady. Jim Plunkett with the Raiders. Troy Aikman with Dallas. Man I give up on the rest. Duh John Elway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 They didn't count Bledsoe since he didn't play. They're counting starting SB QBs. Plunkett is the obscure one i mentioned. Elway, Aikman are correct. That's 3. I got Elway, Aikman and one other, but not Plunkett. 2 more. One is recent. Which you may kick yourself when you realize. The other, I didn't know he was a 1st overall, but won multiple SBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Does the supplemental draft count? I just looked it up, and saw that he was the #1 draft pick, but it wasn't the college draft. He played in the USFL, and was then picked #1 in the supplemental draft when the USFL folded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The local trivia and reference was Mike Brown was sure he had Young sewed up with the number one pick in the draft. Agent (I think it was the infamous Leigh Steinberg) signed Young with the USFL over night thus the Mike Brown quote "I went to bed thinking we had Steve Young".

Hooky Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Correct. Bradshaw and Plunkett were back to back. 70 and 71, respectively. Manning Manning Elway Aikman Plunkett Bradshaw Young (technically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a couple more if back-ups count. Testeverde was on 20+ teams, there's a chance that he may have a ring also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we can find one that was a former #1 pick and was a back up somewhere down the line and won one edit: And it's already been done.
