Indianapolis Colts: Jeff George

When it comes to pure arm talent, there were not many quarterbacks who had a better set of skills than that of Jeff George. A native of Indianapolis, George would go on to be the Gatorade National Player of the Year during his time at Warren Central, before landing at the University of Illinois.

After a solid career at the college level, George made his way to the NFL, where his hometown Indianapolis Colts traded up in the 1990 NFL Draft to get him. He would go on to make seven other stops during his NFL career, but when it comes to his original team, they have to think they should have gotten more than they did out of him.

George would end up spending only four seasons with the team that drafted him, as he refused to report to training camp for the 1993 NFL season. That ended a run with the team that saw him play wildly inconsistent quarterback, and in his nearly 50 NFL starts, the strong-armed George lost 35 contests.

In total, George had 46 touchdowns against 41 interceptions, but you have to think that he should have gotten more out of the talent that he was blessed with. For the Colts, they made the move to go up and get the local kid with the golden arm, but they would have to wait five years after George left to get their real franchise quarterback in Peyton Manning.
