Arguably one of the greatest players in NFL History. In fact he was voted the 3rd greatest NFL player of the 20th century by the Associated Press.

By the time he retired, Baugh set 13 NFL records in three player positions: quarterback, punter, and defensive back.
Two of his records as quarterback still stand: most seasons leading the league in passing (six; tied with Steve Young) and most seasons leading the league with the lowest interception percentage (five).[8] He is also second in highest single-season completion percentage (70.33), most seasons leading the league in yards gained (four) and most seasons leading the league in completion percentage (seven).[8]
As a punter, Baugh retired with the NFL record for highest punting average in a career (45.1 yards), and is still second all-time (Shane Lechler 46.5 yards), and has the best (51.4 in 1940) and third best (48.7 in 1941) season marks. As a defensive back, he was the first player in league history to intercept four passes in a game, and is the only player to lead the league in passing, punting, and interceptions in the same season.[1][8] Baugh also led the league in punting from 1940 through 1943.[9]
