Looking back at the Seahawks' decision to take Dan McGwire over Brett Favre

Every weekday morning, we'll round up local and national Seattle Seahawks-related links.

Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times takes a look back at the 1991 draft, when the Seahawks selected quarterback Dan McGwire instead of Brett Favre:

“Dan McGwire looked to be an incredible talent," said agent Leigh Steinberg, who represented McGwire. “It’s easy to judge in retrospect, but at the time Brett Favre was a bit of an unknown."

Favre had undergone elbow surgery on his throwing arm in June before his senior season, then was injured in a car accident that summer.
