Frank Reich is seen by many as one of the greatest backup quarterbacks in NFL history. Now the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Reich spent 14 years in the NFL as a player, 10 of those with the Buffalo Bills.
He was taken in the third round of the 1985 NFL draft out of Maryland, where he once engineered the greatest comeback in college football history, which was a preview of what was to come for Frank Reich in the NFL as he led the greatest comeback in league history in January 1993.
A two-year starter in high school in Pennsylvania, Frank Reich accepted a scholarship to the University of Maryland ahead of the 1981 college football season but didn’t get much of a chance to play for the Terrapins in his first three years as he was backing up Boomer Esiason. But when Esiason took his talents to the NFL in 1984, Reich finally got his chance to start.
