Question
Dion Lewis was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. But they traded him away, and now he’s going to start in a Super Bowl against them. Who’s the only quarterback who’s done this? Said player was a first-round pick, traded away, and then came back to start in a Super Bowl against his original team.
Answer
Craig Morton. He was the 5th pick of the 1965 draft, but the Cowboys traded him (to the Giants) after he didn’t want to back up Roger Staubach. Morton started for Denver against Dallas in the 1977 Super Bowl. Daryle Lamonica also was drafted by a team he started against in a Super Bowl, but Lamonica never signed with Green Bay, opting instead to play in the AFL.
