Hailing from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Trent Green has carved out a legacy worth recognition from the quarterback position. His fifteen-season NFL career did not come without adversity, it took Green time to become a trustworthy, reliable first-string quarterback in the league and he earned the recognition he now is receiving as one of the better quarterbacks in pro-football history. Green played his collegiate football at Indiana University Bloomington from 1989 to 1992. In his four seasons as a Hoosier, Green led the team to the 1991 Copper Bowl and threw for 5,400 yards and 23 touchdowns.
After an impressive stint in Indiana, Trent Green was selected 222nd overall in the eighth round of the 1993 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers where he was placed as a backup and didn't see a single snap from center. In 1994, Green took his talents to the Canadian Football League where he played for the British Columbia Lions for a single season. In 1995, Green made his way back to the NFL as a member of the Washington Redskins and again saw no playing time until 1998. In 199, Green signed a deal with the St. Louis Rams where he was slated to be a starter, but a season-ending knee injury took him out and Kurt Warner led the Rams to a Super Bowl (XXXIV) victory in 2000. Green's most prominent years came from his tenure as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs where he was a 2x Pro Bowler (2003, 2005). After a single season with the Miami Dolphins (2007) and an additional season back with the Rams, Green retired in 2010. He currently holds the tied NFL record for the longest touchdown pass at 99 yards.
