tommie james frazier , jr. , -lrb- born july 16 , 1974 -rrb- , is a former american college and professional football player who was an award-winning quarterback for the university of nebraska .
frazier is widely considered to be one of the greatest players in the history of college football despite being hampered by injuries for his entire career .
frazier led his team to consecutive national championships in 1994 and 1995 , and is one of five quarterbacks to have done so since the 1950s : oklahoma 's steve davis , nebraska 's jerry tagge , usc 's matt leinart , alabama 's a.j. mccarron being the others .
frazier is the only one of the five whose consecutive national championships included zero losses or ties .
he was named most valuable player of three consecutive national championship games , the only player ever to accomplish that feat .
the 1995 nebraska football team is considered to have been one of the most dominant in the history of american college football and , in a 2006 espn.com poll , was voted the best college football team of all time .
frazier was selected by `` sports illustrated '' in 1999 as a back-up quarterback in their `` ncaa football all-century team . ''
he was one of six nebraska cornhuskers on this 85 man roster , along with johnny rodgers , rich glover , dave rimington , dean steinkuhler and aaron taylor .
collegefootballnews.com named frazier in 2004 as the # 33 player on their top 100 greatest college football players of all-time list .
in 2013 , frazier was elected to the college football hall of fame .
frazier was not drafted by the nfl due to a blood clot in his left leg , a side effect of crohn 's disease .
