Former Oregon and NFL quarterback Joey Harrington wrote about his playing days in an article for the Cauldron, noting that he felt his professional career was a "rousing success" despite many labeling him as a "bust" throughout it.
In the article, the No. 3 pick in the 2002 NFL draft admitted that his top goal growing up was to play in the Rose Bowl.
He wrote, "Making that game was always my biggest football ambition. Not to improve my draft stock, not to be a pro football Hall of Famer. Play college football, go to the Rose Bowl, set myself up for success and life, and have fun.
