A guy named Dave Wilson was the quarterback at my high school, I played center but was a year younger IIRC.

He was a first round draft pick for the saints, but he suffered a knee injury in his first season in the NFL and ended up carrying a clip board for most of his career.
A blessing in disguise. he didn't get all wrecked and can still walk without a limp.
he made damn good money and watched most of the games from the sidelines.
IMO that is the best job in the NFL.
Some of those QBs that play every week are almost crippled by the time they retire.
