Question
Craig Morton passed away on Saturday at 83. He started for the Broncos in Super Bowl XII – playing against the team that originally drafted him (Dallas). Who are the only other two quarterbacks who have started Super Bowls against teams they were drafted by?
Answer
Daryle Lamonica and Joe Theismann. The Packers selected Lamonica in the 12th round of the 1963 draft, but he opted to instead play in the AFL. Lamonica played against Green Bay in Super Bowl II. Miami selected Theismann in the fourth round of the 1971 draft; he started for Washington against the Dolphins in the Super Bowl following the 1982 season. The Cowboys selected Morton with the 5th pick of the 1965 draft. He also started Super Bowl V for them (in a loss against the Baltimore Colts).
