"A news headliner throughout his stellar 15-year pro career, Dan Fouts assaulted opponents' defenses with his rapid hard-thrown passes, and when he retired was one of only three quarterbacks in NFL history to pass for over 40,000 career yards. An intelligent signal-caller Fouts was a team leader and helped the Chargers win three AFC West Titles. He was selected an Al-Pro three times - 1979, 1982 and 1985 - and was picked for six Pro Bowls. Voted into the Hall of Fame in 1993.
