Trent Green

Three years into retirement after 15 seasons in the NFL, former Indiana quarterback Trent Green will be among Friday’s inductees into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Green, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, played for IU from 1990 to 1992, earning three football letters and gaining 5,400 yards through the air, fourth-best all-time in school history.

In 1991, he set a then-school single-season record with 2,627 yards passing.

After playing on three bowl teams at IU coached by Bill Mallory, Green slipped to the eighth round of the 1993 draft where he was chosen by the San Diego Chargers. After years as a backup and one season in the Canadian Football League, Green became the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2001.

With the Chiefs, Green started every game for five consecutive seasons, including 2004 when he threw for 4,591 yards and 27 touchdowns. He retired after the 2008 season.
