About Dan Fouts, Hall of Famer

Dan Fouts was a quarterback who spent his entire 15-season NFL career with the San Diego Chargers from 1973 to 1987. After struggling through his first five years, he transformed into an elite passer when Don Coryell's Air Coryell offense arrived in 1978. Fouts led the league in passing yards for four consecutive years (1979–1982) and became the first quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in three straight seasons. A six-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro, he won Offensive Player of the Year in 1982. Fouts was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993 on his first ballot, making history as the first Hall of Famer at his position to never appear in a Super Bowl or NFL championship game.
