Rick Mirer was a golden Irishman who was dubbed as “The Next Joe Montana.” The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Mirer, chosen by the Seahawks out of Notre Dame with the second pick in 1993, initially soared in Seattle and earned that season’s AFC Rookie of the Year award. However, somewhat inexplicably, Mirer’s production rapidly plummeted and he was out of the league by 2004. Since December 2008, the 48-year-old Mirer has owned and operated a popular winery called Mirror Napa Valley in St. Helena, California.
