Two former ArenaBowl MVP QBs to battle Sunday

May 25, 2005 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release


NEW YORK – Two of the last three ArenaBowl champion quarterbacks and former teammates meet when QB MARK GRIEB (6-3, 208, UC Davis) and the San Jose SaberCats (9-7) travel to Colorado to take on QB JOHN DUTTON (6-4, 225, Nevada) and the Colorado Crush (10-6) this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

After Grieb suffered a season ending injury at the end of the 2002 season, his backup, Dutton, led the SaberCats to victory in ArenaBowl XVI while earning game MVP honors. The former University of Nevada standout left the SaberCats and signed with the Crush after the 2002 season.

Two years later, Grieb was named game MVP after leading the SaberCats to their second championship in three years in ArenaBowl XVII. The former Aggie holds the AFL single-season records for passing yards (4,803), completion percentage (73.0) and passer rating (133.5).
