Hall of Fame quarterback
Johnny Unitas dead at 69
NFL mourns the loss of “the best ever
UNITAS
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Johnny Unitas, the Hall of Fame
quarterback who broke nearly
every NFL passing record and
won three championships with
the Baltimore Colts in an 18-
year career, died Wednesday.
He was 69.
Unitas died of a heart attack.
Baltimore Ravens spokesman
Chad Steele said. Steele had no
other details.
Unitas underwent emergency
triple-bypass surgery in March
1993 after a heart attack.
He was the
first to throw
for 40,000
yards in his
career and
now ranks
seventh, sur
passed by a
group of quar
terbacks who
played in an
era when the rules made pass
ing easier. Unitas retired after
the 1973 season holding 22
NFL records, among them
marks for most passes attempt
ed and completed, most yards
gained passing, most touch
down passes and most seasons
leading the league in TD pass
es.
Unitas completed 2,830 of
5,186 passes for 40,239 yards
and 290 touchdowns. He com
pleted at least one touchdown
pass in 47 straight games, a
record that no one has come
close to matching since it was
set from 1956-60.
Unitas was Most Valuable
Player three times and played in
10 Pro Bowls. He led Baltimore
to the NFL championship in
1958 and 1959 and the Super
Bowl in 1970. He was inducted
into the football Hall of Fame in
1979.
On the NFL’s 50th anniver
sary in 1969, Unitas was voted
the greatest quarterback of all
time. He also was selected at
quarterback for the NFL's All-
Time team in 2000 by the 36 Pro
Football Hall of Fame voters.
“Johnny Unitas is the greatest
quarterback ever to play the
game, better than I was, better
than Sammy Baugh, better than
anyone,” Sid Luckman, the great
Chicago Bears quarterback of
the 1940s, once said.
Unitas was one of the few
quarterbacks who called his
own plays, an ability traced to
his knack for reading an oppo
nent’s defense and spotting a
weakness, then calling a play to
take advantage.
John Mackey, the Colts’
tight end during the Unitas
years, once said of his team
mate, “It’s like being in a
huddle with God.”
The long list of accomplish
ments was quite a reversal of
relationships. worship. prayer,
the Bible. small groups. simplicity,
learning. diversity. authenticity.

fortune for a player who hitch
hiked home from his first NFL
training camp after the
Pittsburgh Steelers cut him in
1955. He spent that season play
ing semipro football on rock-
and glass-covered fields in
Pittsburgh for $6 a game and
working as a piledriver at a con
struction site.
The Colts signed him the fol
lowing season after getting
tipped to his ability in a most
unusual way.
“Unitas was signed after we
received a letter from a fan
telling us there was a player in
Bloomington deserving a
chance,” former Colts coach
Weeb Ewbank recalled a few
years later. “I always accused
Johnny of writing it.”
Unitas became a backup
quarterback and made his debut
in the fourth game of the 1956
season. His first pass was inter
cepted and returned for a
touchdown. It got worse as
Unitas fumbled on his next
ii
Johnny Unitas
is the greatest
quarterback ever to
play the game... better
t yy
than anyone.
— Sid Luckman
Chicago Bears QB great
two possessions.
Fortunately, however, the
Colts’ other backup had opted
for law school and Unitas was
able to start the next game, and
Baltimore beat the Green Bay
Packers 28-21. A week later, the
Colts upset the Cleveland
Browns, and Unitas had earned
himself a job.
Unitas didn’t really look like
a football player. At 6-foot-1,
just under 200 pounds, his body
was that of an everyday person
— except for the scars, bumps
and bruises.
His most noticeable malady
was a curved right arm, evidence
of the thousands of passes he
threw. His worst injury was a
torn Achilles’ tendon, but
he also had broken ribs, a punc
tured lung and knee injuries.
Unitas’ brightest moment
probably came in the 1958 cham
pionship game against the New
York Giants, a match that was
called “the greatest football game
ever played” for years afterward.
With 90 seconds left, Unitas
completed four passes, taking
the Colts to the 20-yard line to
tie the game on a field goal. He
then engineered an 80-yard drive
for the winning touchdown.
“The drama came from the
championship setting rather
than the game itself, until we
came down to tie it in the final
seconds. And then it became the
first playoff ever to go to sud
den death, and you can’t have
much more drama than that,”
Unitas recalled.
The following year,
Baltimore beat the Giants 31-
16 in the championship game.
Unitas ran for one touchdown,
and passed for two others,
completing 18 of 29 passes,
good for 264 yards. For the
season he set an NFL record by
throwing 32 touchdown passes,
and was named the league’s
outstanding player.
His Super Bowl victory came
in 1971, a 16-13 victory over
Dallas in which he played spar
ingly. He also played in the 1969
Super Bowl, a shocking 16-7
loss to Joe Namath and the New
York Jets.
Unitas’ enormous talent and
ability, combined with his pen
chant for taking command in
the huddle, caused some play
ers to view him as overly cocky
and arrogant.
Unitas called it confidence.
“There’s a big difference
between confidence and con
ceit. To me, conceit is bragging
about yourself. Being confident
means you believe you can get
the job done, but you know you
can’t get your job done unless
you also have the confidence
that the other guys are going to
get their jobs done too. Without
them. I’m nothing,” he said.
Some of that confidence was
apparent in his freshman year
of college at Louisville. He
threw for more than 2,000
yards and 21 touchdowns in his
first two years, earning the
nickname “Mr. Football” from
local sports writers.
The Steelers drafted him in
the ninth round, but he saw little
action in the preseason and was
cut just before the season-open
er.
Unitas said he harbored no
ill feelings.
“How could I?” he asked.
“It was the best thing that ever
happened to me.”
Unitas played his final season
for the San Diego Chargers, and
his 30-yard completion to Mike
Garrett against Cincinnati on
Sept. 30 put him over the
40,000-yard mark.
Unitas was born in
Pittsburgh on May 7, 1933, and
was only 4 when his father, who
had a small coal delivery busi
ness, died of pneumonia. His
mother went to night school to
become a bookkeeper to support
her four children.
Unitas later said he learned
more about courage from his
mother than any football coach.
