My Take

Doug Flutie is the underdog I never tire of. Listed at 178 cm, he spent a career being told he was too short to play quarterback, then proceeded to log 21 professional seasons split across the NFL, CFL, and USFL, which is a span most players can only dream of. The Canadian Football Hall of Fame nod tells you he didn't just survive up north, he dominated there. What I respect is the refusal to accept the box people built for him, bouncing between leagues and still producing. Flutie is proof that arm strength and stature matter less than vision, nerve, and sheer stubborn longevity.
