6. Jim McMahon

Jim McMahon was the fifth-overall selection by the Chicago Bears in the 1982 NFL Draft and he was as interesting as they come at the position. As a player, he was never necessarily a bad quarterback, but he also was never really that good.

McMahon had the luxury of being on the right team at the right time as he worked with legendary coach Mike Ditka and running back Walter Payton. Defensively the Bears were one of the best groups ever during much of McMahon’s time in Chicago as they featured future Hall of Famers like linebacker Mike Singletary and defensive end Richard Dent.

The quarterback did enjoy his best season in 1985, preceding their Super Bowl XX win. He threw for 2,392 yards with 15 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

In his 15-year career, McMahon barely managed to get to triple digits in touchdown, hitting exactly 100 while posting 90 interceptions. He finished his career once again going to the right place at the right time as McMahon was a member of the 1996 Green Bay Packers team that saw starting quarterback Brett Favre win his lone Super Bowl.
