Joe Flacco has proven to be one of the better quarterbacks of this current generation. Over the past decade, we've seen quarterbacks come and go, but Flacco has stood the test of time as being a reliable offensive leader for the team's he's played for. The 6'6 quarterback from Audubon, New Jersey played football for two different collegiate teams, the University of Pittsburgh Panthers (2003-2005) and the University of Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens (2005-2007). As a backup, Flacco played very minutes for the Pittsburgh Panthers, but found his way at Delware where he broke twenty school records in three seasons playing for the school.
In the 2008 NFL Draft, Joe Flacco was drafted 18th overall by the Baltimore Ravens where he played eleven seasons leading the Ravens to a championship with a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. The Super Bowl MVP received a six-year, $120.6 million extension in 2013 for his performance making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks of this decade. In 2016, Flacco was traded to the Denver Broncos securing a acontract worth $66 million for three years of commitment. With close to $150 million paid by the Baltimore Ravens alone, Flacco set the standard for quarterback pay in the NFL today.
