Randall Cunningham has to be described as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks to ever take the field. Cunningham had a high-level football IQ with the speed and agility of a wide receiver. Standing at 6'4, Cunningham had the ability to deliver the ball comfortably from almost anywhere on the field. Randall Cunningham's style of play could be considered the blueprint for Michael Vick's approach to the game as well. Hailing from Santa Barbara, California, Randall played his collegiate football at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas initially as a punter for the Rebels being named All-American for the 1983 and 1984 seasons. It wasn't until his senior year that he would take a snap as the UNLV Rebels' starting quarterback leading them to an 11-2 season that was later recalled and adjusted to 0-13 after the discovery of several illegitimate players on the team. Prior to the record adjustment, the 11-2 record led by Cunningham was the first ten-win season in the school's history.
In the 1985 NFL Draft, Randall Cunningham was selected 37th overall in the second round by the Philadelphia Eagles. After being designated as a starter in the midst of the 1986 season, the Eagles disastrous offensive line allowed Cunningham to be sacked a franchise record of 72 times. In eleven seasons with the Eagles, Cunningham became the record holder for rushing yards per attempt (6.62) and the third-place record holder for rushing yards by a quarterback (4,482). After suffering some inconvenient injuries, throughout the mid-'90s and falling to a backup quarterback position, Cunningham retired in 1995 but returned a year later as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. In 1998, Cunningham led the Vikings to a 15-1 record and led the league in passer rating with 106.0 on 34 touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Vikings weren't able to make it to the Super Bowl and Cunningham retired following the 2001 season after two short stints with the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens. With a touchdown to interception ratio of 207-134 and four Pro Bowls under his belt, Cunningham is a decorated quarterback but its his style of play that will never be forgotten.
