Brett Basanez
Brett Stephen Basanez (born May 11, 1983) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Northwestern Wildcats and was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent after the 2006 NFL draft. Basanez was also a member of the Chicago Bears.
Basanez played high school football at St. Viator in Arlington Heights. He participated in the first ever U.S. Army All-American Bowl game in 2000.

Basanez ranks 13th on the NCAA's all-time list for total offense, and 28th on the all-time list for passing yards. He was close to becoming the only player in NCAA history with 10,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards (Basanez picked up 996 yards on the ground while at NU). He set two Sun Bowl records in the 2005 Sun Bowl: 38 completions and total offense of 448 yards.
