Aaron Garcia (born October 28, 1970) is a former American football quarterback most known for his nineteen-year career within the Arena Football League. His nearly two decade career would be spent with a total of ten different teams, though is likely most remembered for his eight-year stay with the New York Dragons from 2001 to 2008. Garcia is considered one of, if not the greatest AFL player of all time, owning a large number of passing records by a large margin. He would not retire from playing in the AFL until 43 years of age, during his time with the Los Angeles KISS in 2014. His 1,336 career passing touchdowns, 62,159 passing yards, and 4,963 completions to 7,794 passing attempts are marks that will likely never be broken.
Garcia also had a brief coaching career in the AFL, serving as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles KISS right after retiring as a player, and then as head coach of the Las Vegas Outlaws in 2015.
