ASU's 50 Best Professional Athletes: No. 21 Football's Danny White

Coming in at No. 21 on our list of the 50 best professional athletes to attend ASU is former football quarterback Danny White, who won three Fiesta Bowls while playing at ASU.

Before Tony Romo became one of the most highly criticized NFL quarterbacks unfairly stuck with the "can't win big games" label while playing for the Dallas Cowboys, there was Danny White who had the daunting task of following football demi-god Roger Staubach.

White actually earned more recognition in high school for baseball than he did playing football at Westwood High School in Mesa, Arizona. Arizona State head football coach Frank Kush convinced baseball coach Bobby Winkles to allow White to punt for the football team.
