Historically, the Cleveland Browns haven't had the best of luck when it comes to the quarterback position. However, Bernie Kosar was able to be that beacon of light for the franchise and its fans to draft well at the position. Kosar was known for functioning well in pass-first offenses and was highly efficient when it came to getting the ball to his receivers in clutch moments. Bernie Kosar was so clutch that he started all twelve games at the University of Miami in 1983 after being redshirted in 1982. Kosar led the Hurricanes to their first-ever national championship in 1983 where was MVP of the Orange Bowl. Kosar also fell victim to Doug Flutie's 'Hail Flutie' pass and a loss in the 1985 Fiesta Bowl.

After a successful stint in college and some eligibility controversy, Kosar was drafted 1st overall in the 1985 Supplemental NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns where he would spend the majority of his NFL career. During his tenure with the Browns, Kosar would rack up two Pro Bowl selections in 1987 and 1989 where he would lead the Browns to back-to-back AFC championship games in 1986 and 1987. Unfortunately, after suffering multiple injuries, Kosar and the Browns parted ways and Kosar would sign a contract with the Dallas Cowboys where he would earn a Super Bowl ring as a backup. Kosar played his final three NFL seasons as a member of the Miami Dolphins and ended his career holding the record for most consecutive completed passes without an interception until it was broken by Tom Brady in December 2010.
