Ken O'Brien
The New York Jets selected O'Brien as the 24th pick in the first round of the 1983 NFL draft, shocking observers who expected the team to choose quarterback Dan Marino, a future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, who was selected three picks later by the Miami Dolphins.")[1] Don Shula, who coached the division rival Miami Dolphins (which drafted Dan Marino later in the round) famously asked "Who's he?"Hickey also stated that the Pittsburgh Steelers (three picks ahead of New York) not selecting hometown Marino was a key factor and that the final choice was between O'Brien and Darrell Green (later chosen by Washington and a future Hall of Famer).On September 21, 1986, O'Brien engaged in a famous duel with Dan Marino when the Jets played the Miami Dolphins.O'Brien threw 25 touchdown passes for the second-straight season and helped the Jets post a 10–6 record in 1986, but a sore arm bothered him down the stretch, which saw the team lose five games in a row to stumble into the playoffs.He retired after spending the 1993 season with the Philadelphia Eagles where he started only four games and mostly served as a backup for Randall Cunningham and Bubby Brister.
