Some Famous People called Jim Plunkett
Jim Plunkett
James William Plunkett (born December 5, 1947) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for sixteen seasons. He achieved his greatest professional success during his final eight seasons with the Raiders franchise, whom he helped win two Super Bowl titles.
A Heisman Trophy winner during his collegiate career at Stanford, Plunkett was selected first overall by the New England Patriots in the 1971 NFL Draft. His tenure with the Patriots was mostly unsuccessful and led to him being signed by the San Francisco 49ers, where he played in 1976 and 1977. Released from the 49ers after he continued to struggle, Plunkett signed with the Oakland Raiders for 1978.
Initially serving as a backup for the Raiders, Plunkett became the team's starting quarterback during the 1980 season and helped them win Super Bowl XV, where he was named Super Bowl MVP. In 1983, Plunkett again ascended from backup to starter to assist the relocated Los Angeles Raiders in winning Super Bowl XVIII before retiring three years later. He is the only eligible quarterback with two Super Bowl wins as a starter not to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
