Former Ram great Norm Van Brocklin, Philadelphia Eagles, 1960
Traded to Philadelphia late in his career, Van Brocklin saved the best for last in 1960, leading the lightly regarded Eagles to the Eastern Conference crown. He finished second in passing yards, touchdown passes and passer rating, and fourth in punting. He was selected the league’s MVP. Van Brocklin, 34, capped his career by guiding the Eagles to the 1960 NFL championship, passing for more than 200 yards and twice coming from behind to top the Green Bay Packers 17-13, the only playoff defeat during Vince Lombardi’s tenure with the Pack.
