Randall Cunningham is widely regarded as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in NFL history, known for his dual-threat ability to both pass and run the football. Over his 16-season career, Cunningham revolutionized the quarterback position with his athleticism, becoming a pioneer for future mobile quarterbacks. His ability to extend plays with his legs and make deep throws downfield made him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Cunningham's versatility and skill set allowed him to accumulate 4,928 rushing yards, which was the most by a quarterback at the time of his retirement, and he remains fourth on the all-time list.

Cunningham's professional career began when he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 1985 NFL Draft. He quickly became the face of the franchise, spending 11 seasons with the team and earning four Pro Bowl selections. Known for his electrifying play, Cunningham led the Eagles to multiple playoff appearances and was a key figure in the team's success during the late 1980s and early 1990s. His ability to evade defenders and make plays on the run earned him the nickname "The Ultimate Weapon," and he became a fan favorite in Philadelphia.

After a brief retirement following the 1995 season, Cunningham returned to the NFL in 1997 with the Minnesota Vikings. His 1998 season with the Vikings was one of the best of his career, as he led the team to a 15-1 regular-season record and an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. That year, the Vikings set an NFL record for the most points scored in a regular season, and Cunningham was named a first-team All-Pro. Despite his success, Cunningham's performance declined in 1999, and he was eventually released by the Vikings. He finished his career with short stints as a backup for the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens.

Following his retirement from professional football, Cunningham transitioned into a new role as an ordained Protestant minister. He became the team chaplain for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2020 to 2022, continuing his involvement in the sport in a spiritual capacity. In recognition of his outstanding college career, Cunningham was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2016. His legacy as a trailblazer for mobile quarterbacks and his contributions to the game of football remain significant, and he is remembered as one of the most exciting players of his era.
