(Redirected from Craig morton)
Craig Morton
Larry Craig Morton (born February 5, 1943) was a quarterback in the National Football League for three teams: the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos. Morton played college football at California University. He is the only quarterback in NFL history to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl (Dallas in 1970 and Denver in 1977).

Morton was a downfield passer not known for his mobility, and is one of the all time leaders in yards per completion. He also breifly held the record for the most passes completed in a row.
He was an All-American at Cal and selected in the first round by Dallas in 1965. He was also inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1992.
