Unitas (1933-2002) was one of the greatest NFL players of all time and spent the majority of his career with the Baltimore Colts.  He was the NFL’s most valuable player in 1959, 1964 and 1967.  For 52 years, he held the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (set between 1956-1960), until it was broken by Drew Brees in 2012.  He was considered the prototype of the modern era marquee quarterback, with a strong passing game, media fanfare, and widespread popularity. He led the Colts to three NFL Championship titles (1958, 1959, 1968) and a victory in Super Bowl V (Colts 16, Cowboys 13, Jan. 17, 1971). This item comes with a COA from Mounted Memories.
