My Take
Jeff Hostetler is the kind of sports story I never tire of. A Pennsylvania kid out of West Virginia University, he spent years as a backup quarterback before circumstance handed him the New York Giants late in the season after Phil Simms went down, and he answered by winning Super Bowl XXV. That is the dream of every patient understudy realized in full. The nickname "Hoss" fits the unglamorous toughness of his game. I respect athletes who stay ready in obscurity and then deliver on the biggest stage, turning one opportunity into a permanent place in football history.
