Gino Torretta

The truth is that the NFL had not been too keen on Gino Torretta at the 1993 NFL Draft. In the seventh round, the Minnesota Vikings chose him. He did not get to play with them at all. Not long after this, the Lions picked him up. He only had one chance to play in the league, which was the season finale of 1996. With the Seahawks, he threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Joey Galloway. It led them to victory!

For six seasons, Danny Wuerffel played in the NFL. The 1996 Heisman Trophy winner graduated from Florida. After this, the New Orleans Saints picked him during the fourth round of the draft. During his short run, he was on four teams and found limited success as an occasional starter and backup. In 2000, he spent a season in NFL Europe and helped the Rhein Fire win a title. On top of that, he became the MVP of the World Bowl! In 2002, he started playing for the Redskins but retired two years later.
