Daunte Culpepper
former Miami Dolphins Quarterback

Culpepper was drafted by the Vikings in the first round of the 1999 NFL Draft (11th overall). Culpepper enjoyed his best statistical season as a professional and, though they were only 8-8, the Vikings reached the playoffs for the second time with Culpepper. Passing for a league-leading 4,717 yards, a Viking-record 39 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions, Culpepper was named to his third career Pro Bowl. Culpepper also broke Dan Marino's NFL record for combined passing and rushing yards, amassing 5,123 total yards. His 2,323 rushing yards from 2000-2004 also made him only the fourth quarterback in NFL history to run for more than 2,300 yards in a five-season period. Culpepper suffered a knee injury during the 2005 season damaging the three major ligaments in the knee: the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and medial collateral. He was placed on injured reserve. Culpepper was then traded to the Miami Dolphins where he struggled in his 4 starts. Culpepper was released before the 2007 season and signed a 1 year contract with the Oakland Raiders. Daunte Culpepper is now a Free Agent and has expressed interest in coming back to the Dolphins.
