Bubby Brister
Bubby Brister is a former NFL quarterback who played for several teams over his 14-year professional career from 1986 to 2000. He began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was the primary starter for several seasons.
His time with the Steelers was marked by some solid performances, though the team overall had limited success. After his time in Pittsburgh, he had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings.
While Brister never reached a Pro Bowl, he did win two Super Bowl rings as a backup with the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII and XXXIII. Over his career, Brister threw for over 14,000 yards with 81 touchdowns and 78 interceptions.
Tommy Maddox
Tommy Maddox was initially drafted in the first round (25th overall) of the 1992 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. After spending his first three seasons in the NFL with the Broncos, Maddox had stints with several other teams, including the Rams, Giants, and Falcons.
Maddox experienced a career revival in the short-lived XFL with the Los Angeles Xtreme. In the XFL’s single season in 2001, Maddox was named the league’s MVP, leading the Xtreme to the championship and winning the Million Dollar Game.
This resurgence led to his return to the league with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2002, he took over as the starting quarterback from Kordell Stewart and led the team to a 10-5-1 record, earning NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors.
