"I won a Small College National Championship, which was more than anything that I won in my 4 NFL seasons. I was the second rookie QB to lose 12 games in a season. My rookie year was the high point of my career, as I posted my best passer rating and would go on to start only 2 more games (both losses) over my next 3 seasons. I was a teammate of a player who was from Paraguay, and I hit him in the face with a football during warmups. Who am I?"

The answer is easy: Jeff Komlo. The Paraguayan player is kicker Benny Ricardo. Interestingly, Komlo is (as far that I know) the only American-born NFL player to have died in Europe (excluding WWII).

I intercepted three Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks for touchdowns. One of those 3 QBs I picked-six him twice in the same game, and he was playing in a different team than the one he won the Super Bowl. Who Am I?

I was born in Europe, but I was raised in Canada. I took part in the Commonwealth Games when I was younger, then I went to college in the USA and was drafted by the NFL, but I went on to play for the majority of my pro career in the CFL. I did played one year in the NFL and also played in the USFL in the three years it operated. Who am I?

Komlo was the third. (after Snead and Zorn)

Well then...I stand corrected, as I do about 50% of the time with these. I must have gotten my information from the ESPN "post-merger' stat crew.

What’s funny is that I misread your question at first, and thought you were wasking about the FIRST QB to lose 12. Which gave me Norm Snead... who I knew couldn’t be the answer to the question. So I then I figured it must have been some pre-1960 guy and p-f-r wasn’t listing QB losses for that era. I didn’t feel like digging for that just yet. Thankfully Teo saved me the time. :)
