Rich Gannon

Gannon is a classic late bloomer, and that is what draws me to him. He spent seventeen seasons in the NFL but only hit his peak in his mid-thirties with the Raiders, proof that patience and craft can beat early hype. The Philadelphia kid who learned the Wing-T at Delaware clearly understood the game on a deep level, which is exactly why his second career fit so well: sixteen years as a CBS analyst reading defenses for the rest of us. A standout to me is that he was valued both on the field and in the booth. Longevity like that says a lot about the man's work ethic and likability.
