I was not a favorite of the players or the fans because these guys were worshipped, and rightfully so, in the Washington area."
Theismann can also relate to starting at the bottom of the roster and working your way up, something many young players that star in college have to deal with on the pro level. "I started as a punt returner in the National Football League and was a third-string quarterback," Theismann remembered.
