Defining Success
 Daniel
Carl Wuerffel won the 1996 Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback
at the University of Florida. He led the Florida Gators to four
consecutive Southeastern Conference titles between 1993 and 1996, and
the 1996 National Championship in decisive fashion (52-20) over
archrival Florida State University at the 1997 Nokia Sugar Bowl in New
Orleans, Louisiana.
After
playing several seasons in the NFL for the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay
Packers, Chicago Bears, and Washington Redskins, Danny retired and began
work at Desire Street Ministries,
a non-profit faith-based organization focusing on spiritual and
community development in one of the poorest areas of New Orleans. He
also speaks to college groups, such as the
University
of Florida Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In 2004 Wuerffel
co-authored a book called Tales from the Gator Swamp, in which he
covers his college football career at Florida. |
