Damn, I knew it was too easy. I should have gone with my first instinct, which was to ask “Who caught Brett Favre’s first pass attempt?” with the answer of course being the Washington Redskins’ Andre Collins.

I wouldn’t have known that one.

Here’s another one, though: what was unusual about Matt Ryan’s first NFL pass?

Ryan’s first pass was a 60-something yard TD.

I thought for sure Jim Marshall was one of the answers to #3, but he only played 19 seasons with Minnesota. The only thing that kept him from playing for the Vikings during his rookie season was that the team had not yet been established.

Yup. It was a 62-yarder to Michael Jenkins.
