Some of the greatest current and retired quarterbacks in National Football League history are getting healthy doses of aloha during their travels around Kaua’i this week.
Besides making appearances at public and private schools yesterday, the quarterbacks went to the North Shore for golf at Prince Golf Course, and will tee off for another round at the Kiele layout at the Kaua’i Lagoons Golf Club at 1 p.m. today.
Current NFL stars, including the reigning Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, Tom Brady of the champion New England Patriots, Aaron Brooks of the New Orleans Saints, Kordell Stewart of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jake Plummer of the Arizona Cardinals and Jeff Garcia of the San Francisco 49ers, and retired QBs John Elway of the Denver Broncos and Ken O’Brien, all appeared in short, filmed pieces to air as part of the NFL Quarterback Challenge later this year.
The vignettes, filmed at Kaua’i Marriott Resort and Beach Club, the base of Sleeping Giant, the heiau in the Wailua River area, Whalers Brewpub and other locations, will run as part of the CBS Sports coverage of the made-for-TV event.
The Challenge is set for Thursday morning at Vidinha Stadium.
O’Brien spoke to students at King Kaumuali’i Elementary School, Elway was at Kapa’a Middle School, Brooks visited Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School, and Plummer went to Island School.
The quarterbacks were treated to the Smith’s Tropical Paradise lu’au last night.
