Phil Robertson, 66, has gained fame and wealth from hunting, but the star of A&E's Duck Dynasty was once a football quarterback with pro-level talent.

Seriously. Here's Phil then and now:

Robertson, the millionaire inventor of the Duck Commander duck calls and patriarch of Louisiana's Duck Dynasty reality series, is no back country bumpkin.

He has a master’s degree in education, and he was the starting quarterback at Louisiana Tech for two seasons. His backup? NFL legend Terry Bradshaw.

The guy could play.
