The future Denver Broncos<\/a> quarterback had caused some friction when he was drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the 1983 NFL Draft. John Elway<\/a> had told the Colts he wouldn't play for them prior to the draft. The Colts took him anyway, and Elway, drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round in 1981, threatened to go the baseball route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elway came across as having a bad attitude<\/a>. If the Colts had read Elway's very early scouting report, written by his father, they'd have known he had an attitude problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Elway was a two-sport star<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
