Delaware
Brunner,
was a two-year letterman at Delaware from 1978-79 and led the
school to the 1979 NCAA Division II National Championship with
a 38-21 win over Youngstown State in the Zia Bowl. As a
senior he was named first-team American Football Coaches
Association All-American after completing 134 of 268 passes
for 2,401 yards and a school record 24 touchdowns. He
was drafted in the sixth round of the 1980 NFL draft by the
New York Giants and he played in New York from 1980-83. He
helped take the Giants to the 1981 NFL playoffs, throwing
three touchdown passes in a wild card win over the Eagles and
three more in a semifinal loss to the 49ers. For his career in
New York, Brunner was 482-of-986 for 6,121 yards and 28
touchdowns. He later joined the Broncos and Packers in 1984
and played for the Cardinals in 1985. His career NFL passing
stats were 512-of-1,046 for 6,457 yards and 29
touchdowns. Brunner is current a stockbroker on Wall
Street with Buckingham Research. "When you think
about Walter Payton, Harry Carson, John Stallworth and so many
others, it makes you proud to be associated with Division
II," Brunner said. "I was fortunate to get a chance
in Division II. Chances are I would have been lost in the
numbers had I gone to a bigger school. It's hard to imagine
things working out any better for me had I gone to another
school."
