Boomer Esiason

Boomer Esiason is one of those rare athletes who turned out to be even bigger off the field. Fourteen NFL seasons at quarterback, ten of them with the Cincinnati Bengals, would be a full career on its own. But what stays with me is the 1995 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, recognition for the man more than the player. His pivot into broadcasting, hosting and even acting feels completely natural for someone with that voice and presence. At 6 ft 5 in, with charisma to match, he is a born entertainer who simply found a second stage after the gridiron.
