    I believe he ended up with the Lions in the 60's. Might've been their fourth best QB ever.

    Tobin Rote is the unknown superstar.

    Lead the Lions to the '57 blowout of the Browns to win the championship.

    After the Lions wouldn't pay him, he went to the CFL.

    He set records with Toronto that still stand.

    Sid Gillman snapped him up in '63 to QB the SD Chargers. He won the AFL championship to SD in '63. That was a legendary team, one that is still talked about.

    Only QB to win an NFL championship and the AFL crown.

    Rote could play in today's NFL, a great runner with a live throwing arm.

    He probably should go in the HOF, but he'll never make it.
