For me, the one professional athlete I gave respect was former eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham. He was such an interesting and fun quarterback to watch on TV that played in the mid-1980s to 1990s and then retiring in the early 2000s. I have Randall Cunningham’s rookie football card as a Philadelphia Eagle and poster. It was frustrating watching Randall Cunningham as the starting quarterback back in the day since he played in the infamous fog bowl in playoffs during the late 1980s. I was amazed at Randall Cunningham’s ability to throw the football half the length of the football field in his prime as eagles’ starting quarterback back in the day. It was also frustrating watching how the Eagles’ would struggle advancing to the super bowl during his time as the Eagles’ starting quarterback. I felt like QB Cunningham should have been able to go to the Superbowl as an Eagles’ starting quarterback. Even though, it was frustrating watching him struggle in the playoffs back then, QB Cunningham was a pretty good athletic quarterback for the Eagles. In his prime Randall Cunningham was given the title as the “ultimate weapon” by Sports Illustrated magazine.
