Matthew Stephen Leinart, born on May 11, 1983, is a former American football quarterback who made a significant impact during his college career and later played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons. Leinart first gained national attention while playing for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans, where he led the team to an undefeated season as a junior and won the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 2004. His leadership and poise on the field helped solidify USC as a dominant force in college football during the early 2000s, and he remains one of the most celebrated quarterbacks in the program's history.

Leinart's success at USC led to his selection as the tenth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Despite high expectations, Leinart primarily served as a backup quarterback during his time with the Cardinals, playing behind veteran Kurt Warner. While he showed flashes of potential, Leinart struggled to secure a consistent starting role, and his time in Arizona was marked by injuries and competition for the starting job. Nevertheless, he gained valuable experience and contributed to the team's development during his four seasons with the franchise.

After leaving the Cardinals, Leinart continued his NFL career in a backup role, spending time with the Houston Texans and the Oakland Raiders. Although he never fully realized the potential he displayed in college, Leinart remained a respected figure in the league for his professionalism and understanding of the game. His ability to adapt to different systems and support his teammates from the sidelines made him a valuable asset to the teams he played for, even if his on-field opportunities were limited.

In recognition of his outstanding college career, Leinart was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017. This honor cemented his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history, and his contributions to the sport continue to be celebrated by fans and analysts alike. Today, Leinart remains involved in football as a commentator and analyst, sharing his insights and experiences with a new generation of fans.
