Matt Cassel had a one-hit wonder season with the Chiefs in 2010, throwing for 27 touchdowns and leading them to the playoffs. However, he never came close to that level again and spent most of his career as a journeyman backup.
David Garrard was a solid but unspectacular quarterback for the Jaguars. In 2009, he made the Pro Bowl, despite throwing only 15 touchdowns. He never had another Pro Bowl-caliber season and was out of the league shortly after.
One of the most shocking Pro Bowl selections ever, Tyler Huntley made it in 2022 despite playing only six games as Lamar Jackson’s backup. He threw just two touchdowns that season, making him one of the least qualified quarterbacks to ever receive the honor.
Derek Anderson had one incredible season in 2007, throwing for 29 touchdowns and leading the Browns to a 10-6 record. However, he never replicated that success and spent most of his career as a backup. His Pro Bowl selection remains a surprise.
Vince Young's 2006 Rookie of the Year season helped him earn his first Pro Bowl nod, despite throwing more interceptions (13) than touchdowns (12). He made another Pro Bowl in 2009, but his NFL career was short-lived due to inconsistency and off-field issues.
Mitch Trubisky, the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, never lived up to expectations, yet he made the 2018 Pro Bowl as an alternate after leading the Bears to a 12-4 record. His career since then has been marked by inconsistency, and he is now considered a backup-caliber quarterback.
Johnson is best known for winning Super Bowl XXXVII with the Buccaneers, but he was a two-time Pro Bowler, despite never being considered an elite quarterback. He made it in 1999 with Washington and again in 2002, his Super Bowl-winning year.
Nicknamed "The Muscle Hamster," Martin had two standout years but was mostly inconsistent. His 2012 rookie season (1,454 yards, 11 TDs) and 2015 comeback year (1,402 yards) earned him two Pro Bowl selections, but injuries and inconsistency plagued his career.
Hillis had a legendary one-year wonder season in 2010 with the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns. This breakout got him a Pro Bowl nod and the Madden 12 cover, but injuries and inconsistency ended his career soon after.
Chambers had an inconsistent career but exploded in 2005 with 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning a Pro Bowl selection. However, he never had another 1,000-yard season, making him a surprising one-time Pro Bowler.
