Jim Plunkett
He won the 1970 Heisman Trophy; He was the #1 player taken in the 1971 NFL Draft; He was the MVP in Super Bowl XV
Plunkett's football career began at Stanford University, where he played for the Stanford Indians and won the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 1970. His standout college performance led to him being selected first overall in the 1971 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. While his early years with the Patriots were productive, injuries began to take a toll, and after a difficult 1975 season, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. His time with the 49ers was short-lived, as further injuries led to his release after the 1977 season.
In 1978, Plunkett signed with the Oakland Raiders, initially serving as a backup quarterback. However, in 1980, he was thrust into the starting role and led the Raiders to a victory in Super Bowl XV, where he was named the game's Most Valuable Player (MVP). His ability to step up in critical moments was again on display in 1983 when he guided the relocated Los Angeles Raiders to another Super Bowl win, this time in Super Bowl XVIII. Despite his two Super Bowl victories, Plunkett remains the only eligible quarterback with multiple Super Bowl wins as a starter not to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Plunkett's contributions to the game of football have not gone unrecognized, as he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990. His story is one of perseverance, overcoming injuries, and seizing opportunities when they arose. Though his professional career had its ups and downs, his ability to lead his team to the pinnacle of success on two separate occasions is a testament to his skill and determination.
