*[[Matt Cassel]] played backup quarterback to [[Matt Leinart]] at the [[University of Southern California]] when Leinart won the Heisman Trophy for best collegiate player, never getting a chance to play. In 2005, he was drafted by the New England Patriots, only to back up Tom Brady when Brady was arguably the best quarterback in the league. In 2008, Brady suffered a season ending injury in the Patriots' first game, but Cassel led them to an 11-5 record, narrowly missing the playoffs. Since Brady had recovered by 2009, Cassel became the full-time starter on the [[Kansas City Chiefs]], and was selected to the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season as one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC.
