Jim McMahon - Chicago Bears Super
Bowl Champ |
| |
 Before
he become the punky QB known as
McMahon, Jim torched college
football secondaries on his way to
70 NCAA records for passing and
total offense. Not bad for a guy who
desperately wanted to go to Notre
Dame. While BYU can boast their
share of great passers, no one
seemed to play like McMahon who had
a swagger and attitude unlike any of
the other greats. Certainly Gifford
Nielson and Marc Wilson set the BYU
offensive wheels in motion and Steve
Young, Robbie Bosco and Ty Detmer
were just as spectacular, but
McMahon was one of a kind. What most
will remember his college career for
was the most improbable comeback in
college football history which
cemented his legacy as a
never-say-die player. See below for
that signature performance...Book

He won two Super Bowls. One with the
Chicago Bears and one as a backup
with Green Bay. He had notable
stints with Minnesota and
Philadelphia, but it was his career
with the Bears that really made him
a star with his goofy
eccentricities. From mooning fans on
Bourbon Street before the Super Bowl
to his head bands with various
sayings, McMahon was the ring leader
of maybe the most colorful cast of
characters in NFL history. Always
injured, the Bears never got back to
Super Bowl form, but there was never
a better team leader when McMahon
got in the huddle.
Some of his honors include College
Football Hall of Fame in 1998,
finished 3rd in Heisman Trophy in
1981 and 5th in 1980, an Consensus
All-American - 1981, an All-American
- 1980, a First Davey O' Brien Award
winner in 1981, a Sammy Baugh Trophy
winner as nation's best QB in 1981,
Chicago Bears 1st round draft pick
in 1982, and NFL Rookie of the Year
in 1982.
