NFL Athlete Number 6 - Bubby Brister

Walter "Bubby" Brister is the best NFL athlete to have worn the jersey number 6 for his career. He may not have been a Hall of Fame quarterback, but he sure could sling the ball, and he has two Super Bowl rings to prove it.

Over an NFL career spanning the years of 1986 to 2000, Bubby Brister played behind center primarily for the Steelers, but picked up Super Bowl rings filling in admirably for the Denver Broncos. In fact, in 1998, when John Elway went down with an injury, Brister went 5-0 as the Broncos starting QB, finishing the season with a higher QB rating than Elway.*

Brister amassed some quality stats over his NFL career:

  • 14,445 passing yards in the regular season
  • 81 passing TDs
  • 1,207 completions
  • 54.6 career completion percentage
  • 546 rushing yards
  • 8 rushing TDs

Did you know........Bubby Brister was drafted by the Detroit Tigers to play pro baseball in 1981, before being drafted by the Steelers in 1986?

  1. If I remember correctly, Bill Russell wore # 6, and if so this is by far the worse pick on this list. Eleven championship rings!!!! Are you seriuos!!!!

  2. This list is for NFL athletes only. If you want to see the list of all professional (the 4 main U.S. sports) athletes, go to the list on the left side of the main page. By the way, Bill Russell is the pick for number 6,for all professional sports.

  3. As a Steelers fan, I absolutely agree! A very underrated qb. In 1989 he led a mediocre Steelers team to the Afc championship game, where they only lost by a point! The colorful qb was invaluable with the Broncos as a backup!
