Rich Gannon might be best known in New England as the quarterback for the Oakland Raiders team that fell to the Patriots in the 2001 AFC Divisional Round, aka the "Tuck Rule Game."
But the former NFL MVP actually began his professional career with the Patriots.
That's right: New England selected Gannon -- a record-setting quarterback at the University of Delaware -- in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 1987 NFL Draft. But the Patriots ended up trading Gannon six days later to the Minnesota Vikings for a pair of draft picks in a move that seems head-scratching in hindsight.
