FWIW, that was the early addition. Mine was correct!

Steve Young started out in the USFL league before it went under. He was not in the draft from college to the NFL. 

Yeah and that wasn't the NFL's fault, he signed the deal with USFL before the NFL held its draft for his class.

 

It doesn't matter anyway, a 6th round pick making 7 superbowl appearances and winning 5 of them is still more impressive.

But not only did you dismiss the point of @Strandly's post, it's not even right, in spirit or letter.  He was one of the two or three best players coming out of college so were it not for the USFL he would have been drafted very high up in the first round had he not chosen that route.  Secondly, when the NFL had a supplemental draft to attract USFL players, he was chosen first overall.

And as @boogielicious mentioned ... he didn't "win" three Super Bowls.  He won one, and he held a clipboard for Joe Montana for two others.

He was a terrific QB though!

Come on now.  This isn't even remotely accurate.

I have to admit you are sharp!

A special supplemental draft was held in 1984 and SY was drafted first overall by the Bucks.

He was on the team, so he got a ring.

Just admit that your point was torn apart and let's move on :)

Why not? If he didn't win then he should give it back right?

S.Y. with the L.A. Express. I was still young and full of life back then.

As are Montana's "silicone spray on the O-line jerseys" admission and Jerry "Stick-um" Rice admission, and the 70s Steelers Steroids admission (they were my fav team BTW).

That wasn't illegal in the 70s. Nothing ever happened, let alone players being suspended, the organization fined, etc.

I've always said that since Jimmy Garoppolo has 2 Super Bowls he's better than Dan Marino.

The patriots kicker cost me $175 bucks when he missed that damned extra point. They shouldn't have won just because of that.

So golfers say Brady is not the GOAT, but 4 NFL HOF'ers say he is, the same day he wins, and the list grows. Yeah, I value the golfers opinion.

I am the unluckiest football square player ever. I have never won any money. If I have the right numbers, with one second left, something will happen and the score will change!

I won $300 in squares and then some crazy Steelers fan decided he hated the Patriots more than the Ravens and gave me $300 cash to burn my Brady Jersey (which I bought back in 2004).  So I ended up with $600 cash. So it was a good night.
