Will Furrer

Caleb Williams, the Bears' shiny new starter with Heisman flair, laps Will Furrer's entire NFL output in a single preseason drive—Furrer managed just 572 yards and 2 TDs across nine games, a 31.4 rating footnote from '92. Williams is building toward stardom; Furrer was the emergency brake when the real QBs sat, a Hokie hero who couldn't crack Chicago's depth chart.

Nah, Will Furrer's not in Canton—no bust for the fourth-round Hokie who threw 10 picks on 572 yards with the Bears and scraps elsewhere. Hall voters skip the guys who went 2-for-25 in their biggest spotlight; he's got Virginia Tech immortality instead, but Pro Football immortality? That's for McMahons, not mop-up men.

In 2026, Furrer's killing it as senior VP of product at Q2 Holdings in Austin, peddling virtual banking software to community banks—left the gridiron for fintech boardrooms. World League alum turned exec, still married to Kelli, probably chuckling at his 572-yard NFL "legacy" while cashing real checks.

Furrer's quick-release college arm (5,915 Hokie yards) might snag third-down gigs in today's pass-happy NFL, where rules shield QBs like airbags—think 46% completion bloating to 60% with RPOs and no Singletary blitzes. But 10 INTs in 124 tries scream turnover machine; he'd be a Nick Mullens type, not a starter, thriving in gadget packages.

Jim McMahon torched defenses with a 45.04 Bears rating and '85 ring magic; Furrer limped to 4.95 on 89 garbage-time yards, like comparing Foggy to a punt-returner moonlighting at QB. Both Bears backups once, but McMahon's swagger owned Soldier Field—Furrer just held clipboards and dreamed of Hokie highlights.
