Question

What quarterback has been traded twice between the same two teams, with both trades involving first-round picks? The quarterback is now in the Hall of Fame.

Answer

Fran Tarkenton. Tarkenton spent the first six seasons of his career with the Vikings. As part of the merger with the AFL, the Giants were awarded an extra first-round pick in the 1968 draft (No. 1 overall) as compensation for allowing the Jets into their market. In 1967, the Giants traded for Tarkenton with that pick involved in the deal. (That No. 1 pick, by the way, turned into Hall of Fame tackle Ron Yary). In 1972, the Giants traded Tarkenton back to the Vikings, and that deal also included a first-round pick.
