Bernard Joseph Kosar Jr., born on November 25, 1963, is a former professional football quarterback who made a significant impact in the National Football League (NFL). Kosar first gained national attention during his college years, playing for the Miami Hurricanes. In 1983, he led the Hurricanes to a national championship, solidifying his reputation as a top-tier quarterback. His performance in college set the stage for a successful NFL career, where he became known for his intelligence, accuracy, and ability to read defenses.

Kosar was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the 1985 NFL Supplemental Draft, and he quickly became the face of the franchise. During his time with the Browns from 1985 to 1993, Kosar led the team to multiple playoff appearances, including two AFC Championship games. His calm demeanor under pressure and his ability to execute in critical moments made him a fan favorite in Cleveland. Despite not winning a Super Bowl with the Browns, Kosar's leadership and skill left a lasting legacy in the city.

In 1993, Kosar joined the Dallas Cowboys as a backup quarterback, where he played a pivotal role in helping the team secure a victory in Super Bowl XXVIII. Although he was not the starting quarterback, his experience and leadership were invaluable to the Cowboys' success that season. After his brief stint in Dallas, Kosar finished his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, playing from 1994 to 1996. His time in Miami was marked by his role as a reliable backup and mentor to younger quarterbacks.

Kosar's career is remembered for his football IQ, precision passing, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations. He remains a beloved figure in Cleveland, where his contributions to the Browns are still celebrated. Kosar's post-football life has included various business ventures and media appearances, further cementing his status as a respected figure in the sports world.
