Karl Robert Sweetan (born October 2, 1942 in Dallas, Texas, died July 2, 2000, in Las Vegas, Nevada) was a former professional American football quarterback who played in five NFL seasons from 1966-1970 for 3 different teams. He is tied with several other players for the record longest pass completion (99 yards to Pat Studstill in 1966). He was the Lions starting quarterback during the filming of the movie "Paper Lion". He also saw playing time in the Canadian Football League with the 1964 Toronto Argonauts. Sweetan also gained notoriety of sorts later when it was alleged he tried to sell an NFL football playbook to another team, however that has not been proven.
