Greg Cook
Gregory Lynn "Greg" Cook (born November 20, 1946 in Dayton, Ohio) is a former American football player in the NFL; he was arguably the most physically talented quarterback of his era, with the potential to become one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time.
As a rookie in 1969 he led the upstart Cincinnati Bengals to wins over the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the playoff-bound Oakland Raiders. He led the AFC in passing in his rookie year.
His abilities and accomplishments are legendary. Those who saw him in action - including icons such as then-Bengals receivers coach Bill Walsh, and Paul Brown - compared him favorably with the all-time greats and agreed that his potential was nearly limitless.
Tragically, his career came to an abrupt halt following a shoulder injury suffered against Kansas City.
