Anthony Calvillo, Greatest QB You Have Never Seen, didn't need Steelers to validate career
Montreal receiver Brandon London, who played in the NFL, says Calvillo is: "one of the five best quarterbacks ever in any league."
Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman, who coached Calvillo the last five years in Montreal, thinks he would have been Drew Brees if put in the right NFL offense.
"You look at him and you say, 'How can he play in the NFL, he's got a long motion and he's not the right size,' but I think in an offense like the one Joe Montana ran he would have been a great, great NFL quarterback," Trestman says.
"He's a guy who has not gotten enough attention south of the border," Trestman says from his office at the Bears' practice facility. "People don't know how great a player this guy was and what a great person he is too."
Trestman stops and takes a breath.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Anthony Calvillo," he says.
