Dayton’s emergency QB who became a two-way PFL star
Steve Valentino’s Dayton story is pure football chaos—in the best way. In the 2010 season, he had already earned All-PFL honors at wide receiver before sliding to quarterback and delivering a run-heavy, playmaking profile that made him a matchup headache; Dayton credited him with 317 of the team’s 388 total yards in one 2010 opener, and he finished that regular season with 201.6 passing yards per game, 64.7 rushing yards per game, and a 135.0 passer rating. His biggest differentiator is versatility under pressure: he’s a leader who can improvise, create with his legs, and keep an offense afloat when injuries hit.
