Byron Leftwich Struggled with Injuries
Who remembers Leftwich from the infamous playing-with-a-broken-bone incident? Playing for Marshall against the Akron Zips, Leftwich bravely finished a drive with a broken shin bone! However, if you are a die-hard fan of the NFL, you are undoubtedly aware that injuries are a reality for NFL quarterbacks.

Leftwich was Jacksonville’s seventh overall pick in 2003. Although he played for them for four seasons, he never had the good fortune to play a full season because of numerous injuries. He then played for Pittsburgh and even won a Super Bowl as a backup in 2009.
