4. QB John Elway

Fresh off his Super Bowl 50 victory, John Elway comes in at number four on the list. Like Dan Marino, John Elway has earned too many awards throughout his football playing career to list them all.

A few major accolades include two Lombardi trophies as a player, and an NFL MVP award in 1987.

Similar to Dan Marino, Elway was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 18th round of the 1979 MLB draft, and once again by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1981 draft. John never made it out of Single-A ball, but something tells me he had other things on his mind at the time.
