Warren Moon might not be the most decorated football player to make this list, but on just pure will and skill alone, Warren Moon is amongst one of the better quarterbacks to ever pick up a football. Not to mention, Moon played a total of twenty-three seasons of football as a professional making his durability and longevity a key component to the success he had has as a high IQ football player who's able to recognize defensive scenes with his eyes closed. The 6'3 quarterback from Los Angeles, California attended a local junior college for two years prior to taking his talents to the University of Washington. In his first two seasons as a starter with the Washington Huskies, Moon ended up with a .500 record of 11-11. However, during his senior season, Warren Moon led the Huskies to a PAC-8 Championship and upset win over the Michigan Wolverines in the 1978 Rose Bowl and was named the game's MVP.
Despite his amazing play in college, Warren Moon went undrafted in the twelve-round 1978 NFL Draft and decided to play for the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos where he helped lead the franchise to five straight Grey Cup victories (1978-1982) and was named the Grey Cup MVP twice (1980 and 1982). After having so much success in the CFL, Moon took an offer from the NFL's Houston Oilers in 1984 where he would play for the next decade. Warren Moon also played short stints with the likes of Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, and Kansas City Chiefs before retiring mid-season in 2001. Throughout his NFL career, Moon threw for over 4,000 yards on four different occasions in a single season. He also threw for nearly 50,000 yards in the NFL alone, if you were to combine Moon's CFL stats with his NFL stats, we'd be staring at one of the most dominant quarterbacks of all-time. While Moon did never win a Super Bowl, he was able go to the Pro Bowl a total of nine times.
