Tom Tupa is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on February 6, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Thomas Joseph Tupa Jr. (born on the 6th of February 1966) is an ex- American football player and quarterback for the National Football League.

Tupa was signed by his team the New England Patriots in 1996 and was a part of them for three seasons. While with the Patriots period, he was a player in Super Bowl XXXI where the Patriots were defeated by the Green Bay Packers. He was called the Patriots All-Nineties Team.

The final pass of Tupa’s career was thrown in an overtime loss in the 2002 season-opener against the New Orleans Saints during a punt attempt from the Buccaneers’ five-yard line. Pressure from a Saints defender forced Tupa to abort the punt attempt and throw a desperation pass with his non-throwing arm which was intercepted by a Saints defender and returned for a touchdown, ending the game.

2002 saw Tupa sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was their punter on their road to Super Bowl XXXVII, where they defeated the Oakland Raiders. Before the start of the 2004 NFL season, Tupa signed with the Washington Redskins. In 2004, he was named as a Pro Bowl second alternate. He spent 2005 on the injured reserve list, and did not appear in a game.

The season also marked the final time Tupa was employed regularly as a quarterback. Since then , he has almost exclusively punted in the emergency situations or games that made usage of his throwing abilities. Tupa was not a player during the 1993 NFL season. He was removed off by the Cleveland Browns right before the season, and then re-signed as a backup due to an injury to quarterback Vinny Testaverde as well as the demotion from the backup quarterback Bernie Kosar. Tupa was re-signed by the Browns the following year , and was there for two years as the starter punter. As part of his team, the Browns, Tupa scored the first two-point conversion in NFL history. He ran in an unintentional extra point kick for the Browns during a match with their rivals the Cincinnati Bengals in the first week of the 1994 season. He was able to score three of these conversions during the season and earned him the moniker “Two Point Tupa.”
