My Take
Dilfer is a player whose story I find more interesting than his reputation often suggested. A tall quarterback out of Santa Cruz, he endured fourteen NFL seasons and reached the mountaintop, winning Super Bowl XXXV as the starter for the Baltimore Ravens in the 2000 season. He was rarely treated as a glamour name, yet he delivered when it mattered most, then later returned to the game as a head coach at UAB. I have always valued people who know both triumph and grind, and Dilfer clearly does. There is a hard-earned authority in someone who has lived both sides of the sport.
