Drafted in 1991 by the MLB's New York Yankees, Elway is the only quarterback on the list that was drafted in another sport. In 1983, he was drafted by the Baltimore Colts. He was unhappy and demanded a trade from the Baltimore Colts, claiming that he'd otherwise continue playing baseball.

Earlier in his career an argument can be made that his team was not the most offensively coordinated to put up very big numbers. Elway was able to lead the team to the Super Bowl three times, all ending in losses, before winning their next two Super Bowls. Elway also earned a ring after retirement as a top executive for the Denver Broncos.
