My Take
Warren Moon's career reads like a quiet argument about fairness. He went undrafted out of Washington, spent his early prime starring in the Canadian Football League with Edmonton, then came back to the NFL with Houston and proved he had belonged all along. Twenty-three pro seasons, a Walter Payton Man of the Year, an Offensive Player of the Year, and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What stays with me is the detour. He had to leave the country to get a shot, and he still finished in Canton. That trajectory tells you more about the era than any stat line.
