Very cool quiz. I got them all with 2:18 remaining, but had to think hard on many of them. I love the mix of pro and college, and I laughed out loud at your characterization of Reggie Bush as "semi-pro". Nice work!

100%, 4:11 left, surprised myself a bit actually. 1988 must have been a quiet year for QM to choose the Icky Shuffle. :-)

Weird. 3 1/2 years later, got them all again (with a few new ones for recent years of course) but had the same exact time remaining: 4:11.

You hate the Patriots because they cheat? And you're a Steelers fan? I suggest you research the path Pittsburgh's offensive line blazed in the 1970s. Worst-kept secret in the NFL at the time.

Let me reword my statement. I hate the Patriots, but not because they cheat. Yes, cheating is part of it, but I also hate them because they are an overrated team that gets way too much attention.

So overrated that they've played in 8 SuperBowls and won 5 of them just in the last 17 years. Yeah, really sounds like they better get their act together! (I'm not a Pats fan, nor really am I an NFL fan anymore, but tune in for the playoffs.)

Patriots are overrated now? How can they be overrated when every one hates them? Your precious Steelers are overrated. They accomplished the same things that the Pats did. If NE is overrated, so it PIT. The only reason the Steelers are so overrated is because they're not the Patriots.

Dwight Clark was a wide receiver, not a tight end. Great quiz otherwise!

Loved this - great variation, good difficulty. For some reason, I got Bradshaw and Griese last, which doesn't make any sense, since it's not like you don't still see Bradshaw every week - and in Griese's case, we used to, plus his son was an NFL quarterback too.

My only comment would be that, since the Super Bowl comes the year after the season, that it could be more about season than year. The 1985 Chicago Bears won Super Bowl XX in January, 1986, but we associate them with 1985. Lawrence Taylor and the Giants are who we think of for 1986 as he became only the 2nd defensive player in NFL history (and last) to win MVP leading the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XXI in January, 1987.

The NFL and Academy Awards mess everything up by deciding the previous year’s best early in the following year.
