1991
Was a second-round draft selection by the Falcons (33rd overall and third quarterback, after Dan McGwire and Todd Marinovich)…Completed 14 of 32 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception, in the preseason…Active for three games during the regular season, he played in two (Oct. 27 vs. L.A. Rams and Nov. 10 at Washington), attempting five passes without a completion in Redskins contest. (a 12-yarder in the second quarter and a 28-yarder in the third period) while completing 15 of 26 passes for 204 yards overall…Threw two more TD passes in losing effort (27-17) in divisional playoff at Dallas the following week (Jan. 16) — a 2-yarder to Brooks and a 29-yarder to Sharpe…Closed out day with 28 completions in 45 attempts for 331 yards (one yard short of Packers' single-game playoff record) and two TDs.
Ron Wolf was with...the Jets I believe, during that draft, and he was going to draft Brett, but Atlanta got him first (Jets might have had the next pick). When Wolf went to Green Bay, he saw the chance to get Brett, and made the trade.
