<![CDATA[Super Bowl QBs...Draft]]> Interesting factoids.   With the draft coming up, it is not always the team that drafts you that a QB has success with.   The following  Super Bowl  Winning QBs  won  Super Bowls but NOT with the team that drafted them:

Len Dawson  win with KC,   drafted by Pittsburgh

John Unitas   win  Balt. Colts,  drafted by Pittsburgh

Jim Plunkett  win 2 with Raiders,  drafted by New England

Joe Theisman  win  Redskins,  drafted by Miami

Doug Williams  win Redskins,  drafted by  Tampa Bay

Steve Young  win 49ers,  drafted by Tampa Bay

Brett Favre  win   Packers,  drafted by Atlanta

John Elway  win 2  Broncos,  drafted by  Colts

Kurt Warner   not drafted   win by Rams

Trent Dilfer   win Ravens,   drafted by Tampa Bay

Brad Johnson   win Tampa,  drafted by  Minnesota

Eli Manning  win  NY Giants,   drafted by  SD  Chargers

Drew Brees  win  Saints, drafted by SD Chargers

Peyton  win with Denver,   drafted  by  Indy Colts  (but also won one with them)

Tom Brady  win with Tampa Bay,  drafted  by  New England  (but won  6 with them) 

Pre  Super Bowl....I am sure there were a number of QBs who won titles with teams that did not draft them  (from  1936 to 1966).   Haven't done that research,  but I do know one that did it:   Otto Graham won 7 championships for  Cleveland,   but  was drafted by the Detroit Lions.

Also,  Joe Theismann went to play in Canada and never suited up for the Dolphins. 

Joe Kapp did the same thing....played in Canada,  never played for  Washington

Lamonica  never played for the Packers....but did spend some years in Buffalo.

Len Dawson

Mark Rypien

And, I guess I should note parenthetically:   NO  QB ever drafted by the Cleveland Browns has ever started a Super Bowl game.......YET!

Also,  as far as I know,  no QB ever drafted by these other teams ever started a SB:  Cardinals,  Broncos, Texans, Saints, Lions,  Jags. 

(Broncos  3 SB QBs....Elway, Morton, Peyton....all drafted elsewhere).
