8. QB Daunte Culpepper

Daunte Culpepper was a super productive quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings from 1999-2005, and then hopped around to three different teams before retiring.

Culpepper amassed over 24,000 passing yards in his career and 149 TD passes. He was selected to the pro bowl three times, and also made the All Pro team twice. In 2004 he led the NFL in passing yards.

Culpepper was drafted 11th overall in the first round of the 1999 NFL draft. He is most known for his connection with star wide receiver Randy Moss whom he played with in Minnesota. They were one of the most electric quarterback-wide receiver  duos to ever grace the field.

On the diamond, Culpepper was drafted in the 26th round by the New York Yankees in the 1995 MLB draft. He elected to go to college and pursue his football career instead.
