Flutie's saga began in the early 1980s, showcasing a career that defied all conventional wisdom surrounding the quarterback position. At Boston College, he broke records and won the prestigious Heisman Trophy while notably choosing to wear jersey number 22—an unconventional number for a quarterback, who typically wears numbers under 20. Flutie's physical stature was also a point of ridicule; at 5'9", he was deemed too short for the position, drawing skepticism from scouts and coaches throughout his career.
