Browning Nagle (born April 29, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was a quarterback for the National Football League's New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, and Atlanta Falcons. He also played as a quarterback for the Arena Football League's Orlando Predators and Buffalo Destroyers.

[edit] Career

Nagle played for Pinellas Park High School, graduating in 1986. He began his college career at West Virginia the same year as Major Harris. When it became clear that West Virginia would go with Harris and an option offense, Nagle transferred to Louisville and played for Howard Schnellenberger. [1]. He was named one of the Most Valuable Players in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. Nagle was drafted by the Jets in the 1991 NFL Draft one pick after the Falcons selected Brett Favre. His tenure with the Jets was defined by his unshakable habit of rifling screen passes and dump-offs as hard as he could.

Today, Nagle is an avid golfer, playing in celebrity tournaments. He currently resides outside Memphis, Tennessee, with his wife, Mallie Jo, and their two children.

Browning (a distant relative of Robert Browning) is the fourth child born to Mary Sue and Ronald Nagle. He has three older siblings, Curtiss, Gayle and Krystal. He was raised by his mother and stepfather, Robert McVeigh.

Browning began school at James Russell Lowell Elementary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He then went on to attend the private William Penn Charter School. He and his family moved to Florida in 1980, when Browning was twelve years old.
