When you have an award named after you, chances are you’re going to make a few of the all-time list, including the best player to wear the number 15. The Bart Starr Award is given to the NFL player with outstanding character, a huge honor, especially in this day and age.
Starr lead his team to five championships, including Super Bowls I and II. The only other player to do that joined him this year in Tom Brady. Bart was named MVP of the first two Super Bowls and earned a seat in Canton in 1977. Starr had a playoff record of 9-1 and a passer rating in the playoffs of 104.8. Not bad for a guy who was a 17th round pick.
“The quarterback’s job is to be a coach on the field. I’d say there are three things a quarterback must have. One, he’s got to have the respect of his teammates. Two, his authority must be unquestioned. And three, his teammates must be willing to go to the gates of hell with him.”- Bart Starr via profootballhof.com
The number 15 has been retired by the Green Bay Packers.
Honorable Mention: Brandon Marshall
