    I’ll guess John Henry Johnson.

    Nope. It was Mike Garrett, chiefs and chargers

    So with that, no AFL quarterback was a starter all 10 seasons, correct?

    Babe Parelli started at least one game from 1960-67. He was Namath's backup on the Jets in 1968-69, played some, but did not start.

    George Blanda did not start a game in 1967 with the Raiders. However, he did attempt at least one pass in every AFL season, and attempted at least one pass in every NFL/AFL/NFL season from 1949 through 1972.

    John Hadl started from 1962-68, as did Lenny Dawson. Tom Flores started at least one game from 1960-68.

    I think Blanda, Flores and Parelli are the only players with at least one pass attempt in every AFL season (1960-69). Cotton Davidson had at least one one from 1960-68.

    Who's the only player in NFL history with 40 sacks and 30 interceptions in a career?

    Flores was out all of 1962.

    I have three guesses. All are recent and won at least one Super Bowl. Is that an accurate description of the player?

    Yes he was. Didn't notice that on his stats on Pro-Football Reference because 1962 wasn't included at all.

    So I guess it's Parelli and Blanda.

    I won't spray out any guesses because I don't know which one.

    Assuming this is post official sacks and not pre 1982, gonna say Ray Lewis or Rod Woodson.
