Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler is a former football quarterback who played in the NFL for 12 seasons, primarily for the Chicago Bears. He played Collegiate football at Vanderbilt University. While at Vanderbilt, Cutler was a three-year captain, setting school career records for total offense, touchdown passes, passing yards, pass completions and pass attempts. Cutler began his professional football career with the Denver Broncos, who selected him with the 11th overall pick of the 2006 NFL Draft. He spent three seasons with the Broncos and was selected to the Pro Bowl. He was traded to the Bears in 2009. After being released by Chicago in 2017, Cutler initially retired to become a sportscaster for NFL on Fox's television broadcasts, but returned for one more season with the Miami Dolphins. He retired a second and final time following the 2017 season.

In May of 2008, Cutler announced that he had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and needed daily insulin shots. For the 2009 season, Cutler teamed up with Eli Lilly and Company in a campaign called "Touchdowns For Diabetes". For every touchdown pass Cutler threw during the 2009 season, Lilly sent a child to diabetes camp by donating $1,000 to the ADA's "Camp Scholarship" fund—roughly the cost of providing tuition for one child to attend a week of diabetes camp. For every pass Cutler completed in 2009, Lilly donated $100 to the ADA Camp Scholarship fund to allow even more kids the chance to attend camp the following summer.
