The year was 1997, and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson was the third-string quarterback for the Green Bay Packers behind Steve Bono and Brett Favre. Pederson’s stat line in 1997 reads like a line of goose eggs — with the exception of his rushing stats, they are actually worse. In 1997, Doug Pederson rushed the ball three times for a total of negative-4 yards.
Pederson may not have known it then, but that was the year that his career would change forever — as 1997 was when Andy Reid was promoted to quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers.
