Mark Brunell

Mark Allen Brunell, born in 1970 in Los Angeles, California, is most famously known for his time as quarterback with the Green Bay Packers. While debuting professionally for the first time in the 1993 NFL Draft with the Packers, Brunell previously attended the University of Washington in 1988, where he led the Huskies to several reputable seasons, even earning himself the title of a Rose Bowl’s game MVP one year. Following his senior season with the Huskies, Brunell was selected in the fifth round of the 1993 draft by the Packers. After two seasons with the Packers, he was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he stayed for eight seasons and became the Jacksonville Jaguars all-time leader, in career wins, pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, and interceptions. During his second season with the Jaguars, in 1996, Brunell also led the NFL in passing yards. He later went on to play for the Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets, retiring in 2011 with a Superbowl championship under his belt along with a ranking of the twenty-ninth best quarterback of the post-merger era in Football Nation. Brunell is currently the Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach.
