He called quits on his career after being with the San Diego Chargers and then with the New England Patriots for a brief period of time.
Later, Flutie became an analyst for college football, which was aired on ESPN and ABC. He was also a color commentator for Notre Dame Football on NBC Sports.
He Tried To Reunite
However, this promising talent’s career dissolved pretty soon owing to several accidents that happened off the field and a bitter relationship with a former head coach, Jeff Fisher. Though he primarily got himself out of the NFL in 2014, he made a fruitless attempt to make a comeback in football. He tried to team up with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL, but another injury thwarted this much-tried attempt.
Young has last been seen in an association of the University of Texas where he was a development officer for program alumni relations.
Doug Flutie
A Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Boston College, his touchdown against the University of Miami became so famous that the pass came to be named a ‘Hail Flutie!’ He performed this famous touchdown pass in November 1984 and went from the USFL to the Chicago Bears.
When he became a part of the CFL, his records became so outstanding that he held the position of being a six-time winner of the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award. After this, Flutie came back to the NFL and gained popularity for raising the trophy as a starting quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.
Byron Leftwich
Leftwich wowed the world with his exceptional numbers that one might only get to see in the records made in video games! He made his mark at Marshall University and then went on to get selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2003 NFL Draft as the 7th overall pick.
Though initially he was a starting quarterback for the Jaguars, his career slowed down due to an unfortunate string of injuries, teamed up with immature decisions. Lastly, he was eventually replaced by David Garrard at the starting position.
Say Hi to The New Coach
In 2012, Leftwich called quits to his career after playing as a backup quarterback to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. Bruce Arians, who used to coach Leftwich in Pittsburgh, appointed him as a coaching intern in 2016.
His career in coaching was promoted in January of 2017 when he became a quarterback coach from a mere intern.
