Despite his success in college, Torretta's professional career in the NFL did not reach the same heights. He was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round of the 1993 NFL Draft, but he struggled to find a consistent starting role in the league. Over the course of five seasons, Torretta played for several teams, including the Vikings, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks. Although he never became a regular starter, his time in the NFL allowed him to gain valuable experience and contribute to the teams he was a part of.
Torretta's legacy, however, is firmly rooted in his college football achievements. In addition to his Heisman Trophy win, he was also named the winner of the Davey O'Brien Award, which is given to the nation's top quarterback. His contributions to the Miami Hurricanes' success during the late 1980s and early 1990s earned him a place in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2010. Torretta's name remains synonymous with excellence in college football, and he is often remembered as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the sport.
