Johnny Unitas

John Constantine Unitas (juːˈnaɪtᵻs; Jonas Konstantinas Jonaitis; May 7, 1933 – September 11, 2002), nicknamed Johnny U and The Golden Arm, was an American football player in the National Football League (NFL). He spent the majority of his career playing for the Baltimore Colts. He was a record-setting quarterback, and the NFLs most valuable player in 1957, 1959, 1964, and 1967. For 52 years he held the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (which he set between 1956 and 1960), until quarterback Drew Brees broke his long standing record on October 7, 2012. Unitas was the prototype of the modern era marquee quarterback with a strong passing game, media fanfare, and widespread popularity. He has been consistently listed as one of the greatest NFL players of all time.
