Joe Montana
There’s no way this list would have been complete without Joe “The Comeback Kid” Montana! Now that he is retired, the physical strain of football has caught up with him. Suffering from different aches and pains, Joe Montana probably put it clearest when he said, he “can’t really run or do much.”
Drew Bledsoe
Before the heyday of Tom Brady, we all knew the name, Drew Bledsoe. This Patriots’ quarterback brought the New England team to six playoffs. The team hadn’t made progress like this for 8 full seasons in a row. In April 2007 he eventually decided to throw in the towel, bringing him the honor of being called the 30th greatest QB of all time.
