Sipe played quarterback for the Cleveland Browns from 1974 to 1983, and he was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1980. Sipe set Browns records for most passing yards and passing touchdowns that season, and they remain the franchise's standard 45 years later.

Kosar, a native of Boardman who led the University of Miami to a National Championship in 1983, quarterbacked the Browns from 1985 to 1993 as part of a 12-year professional career. He led Cleveland to two AFC Championship games, and he won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys in 1993.

Stoudt is a Youngstown State graduate who won two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers during a 14-year career in professional football. He was inducted into YSU's Athletics Hall of Fame in 1987, and he was the quarterback on the Penguins' first playoff team in 1974.
