He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and Pro Bowl MVP, leading the Washington Commanders to a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl 17.

Theismann was selected as the NFL’s Man of the Year in 1982 for his community service and dedication to the health and welfare of children. In 1983, he won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, leading the Redskins to a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Theismann’s career ended abruptly in 1985 after sustaining a badly broken leg during a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants on national television. In 2003, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and in 2013 received the Walter Camp Football Foundation “Distinguished American” Award.

With every chapter of his life, Theismann evolved from an athlete to the ultimate businessman. An Emmy award-winning analyst, entrepreneur, and athlete, he utilizes his gifts, talent, and high energy to share his strategies for handling unforeseen change. Theismann’s book “How to Be A Champion Everyday” was released in June of 2020.
