BUBBY BRISTER
Walter Andrew Brister III, or Bubby as you may know him, served as the Eagles backup quarterback during the 1993 and 94 seasons. After seven seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brister headed to Philadelphia to serve as Randall Cunningham's backup. When Cunningham was injured in 1993, Brister started eight games, leading the Eagles to a 4-4 record which included primetime wins over Dallas and San Francisco on Monday Night Football. He started 10 games in two seasons with the Eagles, winning four of them. He threw 16 touchdowns and just six interceptions during his time in Philadelphia.
Brister started just 75 games over his 14 year career, but he was known as a reliable backup over the course of his career. One of his final stops was in Denver, where he lead to the Broncos to four wins in four starts while playing for an injured John Elway.
Brister retired following the 2000 season with two Super Bowl rings to his name.
