NFL TRIVIA QUESTION

[gethman]

I didnt quite catch the question that is being asked on British TV during the breaks in this MNF game, but I think it goes something like this??? If I am wrong, and you have a idea of what the question might be, let me know.

Who is the only player currently playing in the NFL to have played in the USC???

 

[Jalen45]

doesnt make sense to me.

 

[gethman]

It might not have been USC? It may have been a league that has disbanded, but it was something along those lines

 

[GM]

USFL maybe? The guy would have to be close to 40 if that's what it was. Did Testaverde play in the USFL?

Ths it so the question is as follows :

Who is the only player currently playing in the NFL to have played in the USFL????

 

[gethman]

I am sure it is Gary Anderson???? I know there are a number of coaches who played in the USFL, but I think Anderson is the only current active player??

Flutie

 

[bjfinste]

I think Flutie is the No. 3 guy in SD still, isn't he?

 

[GM]

According to this page:

http://www.oursportscentral.com/usfl/nflplayers2.php

The only "current" player in the NFL from the USFL is Steve Young. The page is out of date though, obviously, since he's retired.

 

[GM]

Ya it's Flutie, he's on the list too and still active. There are 2 Gary Anderson's on there, but neither one is the kicker that is still playing.

 

[Jalen45]

did garcia play in the usfl?

 

[GM]

No. Check the list on the link above.

 

[Another Steve]

Doug Flutie, QB; Generals- Heisman Trophy winner in 1984 for Boston College...highligh of college career was game-winning hail mary against Miami...was given choice of which USFL team he wanted to play for...Generals' owner Donald Trump traded Brian Sipe in the preseason so Flutie would have to start...1985 passing: 134-281 for 2,109 yards, 13 TDs, 14 INTs; ran 65 times for 465 yards and six TDs...a broken collarbone shortened his only USFL campaign...after brief stints in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, left for the CFL...considered too short to play NFL quarterback at just over 5 foot 9, he jumped to the Canadian Football League...multiple-time CFL MVP with British Columbia, Calgary and Toronto.
