Every draft season there’s a quarterback from a school that no one saw play that makes a splash because he has all the prototypical NFL measurables.

John Elway loves a quarterback that looks like him though. Big and strong, can probably throw through the wind at altitude. Well, it didn’t take long for the Broncos to realize their mistake. In two seasons Lynch played in just 5 games, mostly in meaningless games. He’s now technically a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
