Joe Namath
Namath’s influence in the football world still echoes today. He will always be remembered for boldly guaranteeing that the Jets would beat Don Shula’s Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III (1969), and that’s exactly what happened with a 16–7 upset.

Sammy Baugh
Up next is good ol’ “Slingin’ Sammy.” This Hall of Famer is well known for his passing prowess and his versatility as a player, he would often play at the highest levels as a punter and a defensive back as well. Baugh led the Redskins to the NFL Championship in 1937 and 1942, winning both times, and was also named NFL Player of the Year by the Washington D.C. Touchdown Club in 1947 and 1948 for his play. He led the league in completions, attempts, completion percentage, yards, passing touchdowns, interception percentage and passer rating. Whew, the man’s a rock star.
