Three successes to report: Jim Zorn, Don Strock, & Ted Donato
Jim Zorn was named AFC Offensive Rookie of the Year by the NFL Players Association following the Seattle Seahawks' inaugural 1976 season. His three consecutive 3,000-yard seasons were tops in team history, (since broken by Matt Hasselbeck in 2005), and he was the first Seattle quarterback to record back-to-back 300-plus yard games—a feat he accomplished twice.
He signed 1 card from his home in 12 days.
Don Strock spent most of his career with the Miami Dolphins. Strock is well-remembered for coming off the bench on January 2, 1982, for the Dolphins in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Chargers. Strock led Miami from a 24–0 deficit to tie the score in the 3rd quarter. He finished 29 of 43 for 403 yards and four touchdowns. The game later became known as The Epic in Miami and has entered NFL lore as one of the greatest games ever in NFL history.

During his career, Donato played for the Bruins, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, and New York Rangers.
