Jeff George
Jeff George, known for his strong arm and vertical passing game, was an NFL quarterback who had a career spanning over a decade.
Drafted 1st overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1990 NFL Draft, he played there for four seasons before stints with several other teams, including the Atlanta Falcons, Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, and Washington Redskins.
George’s career was marked by impressive yardage totals, including passing for over 27,600 yards, but he faced criticism for his leadership and lack of postseason success. Despite the criticisms, his longevity and arm talent is remembered among NFL quarterback conversations.
