career at Chestnut Hill saw him

leader in the game, surpassing the
record of BYU's Jim McMahon. At a
mere 5' 9 5/8" and 174 pounds, Doug

Douglas S. Looney, resident college
football expert at Sports
Illustrated, wrote that "little
Flutie is far bigger than merely the
best Eagle of all time. He's on the
threshold of being the best New
England college football player
ever." And Tim Cohane, longtime
sports editor of Look, and a
football historian who has seen all
the great ones going back more than
half-a-century, added that Flutie is
the most exciting New England player
since Albie Booth of Yale in
1929-31. "Flutie," observes Looney
"has three things going for him on
the football field: spontaneity,
brains, and optimism." In 1992, he
was named the MVP of the Grey Cup
and led his team to the Western
Division finals in 1993. Doug Flutie
was a six-time Canadian Football
League Outstanding Player of the
Year, three-time Grey Cup Most
Valuable Player and the first CFL
player to throw for 6,000 yards in
one season. After playing in the
Canadian Football League for seven
years, Flutie returned to the NFL
where he is playing for in his third
season with the Buffalo Bills. In
1999, Doug Flutie led the Bills to
the playoffs and was named as an
alternate to the Pro-Bowl. He
launched his autobiography, "Flutie"
in 1997. Doug and his wife Laurie
have two children, Alexa and Dougie,
Junior. He established Doug Flutie,
Jr. Foundation for Autism in honor
of his son. He's currently playing
for the San Diego Chargers.
