61. U Of L Magazine --- Fall 2002 -- Sports: Remembering The Late Great “Johnn The sleek, elegant statue of johnny unitas reminds the players that they sharea place in Cardinal football with one of the greatest players of all time. http://www.louisville.edu/ur/ucomm/mags/fall2002/johnnyu.html

Unitas died in September at age 69. Now his statue also may serve as a memorial to a man who never forgot his alma mater as he achieved unprecedented glory in professional football. While he left U of L almost 50 years ago, he remained an important part of the institution, both as a symbol of pride and as an active fund raiser and occasional recruiter. Never flamboyant or boastful, Unitas played football with a confidence that always seemed to get the job donethoroughly and quietly. A pure drop-back passer, Unitas was the first to throw for 40,000 yards and now ranks seventh on the all-time list, surpassed only by a group of quarterbacks who played several more games each season under rules that make passing easier. Unitas retired after the 1973 season with 22 NFL records, among them marks for most passes attempted and completed, most passing yardage, most touchdown passes and most seasons leading the league in TD passes. He completed 2,830 of 5,186 passes for 40,239 yards and 290 touchdowns. He threw at least one TD pass in 47 straight games, a record not challenged since it was set from 1956 to 1960. In 1987 Frank Gitschier, who recruited Unitas to U of L in 1950 when larger schools passed on him, persuaded Unitas to lend his name to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. The award annually honors the top senior quarterback in college football.

You couldn't help but pick Johnny Unitas out of a football crowd. And you couldn't help but admire his extraordinary ability to pick apart defenses with commanding, unwavering confidence. He never backed down from anybody over 18 NFL seasons, building an unsurpassed reputation for toughness while gaining status as one of the most fabled stars in league history. Johnny U. was a master craftsman, an unlikely looking athlete who overcame physical limitations with impressive intangibles. He wasn't fast, but he knew when and how to run. His arm was not as strong as some, but he threw with remarkable touch and timing. Most of all, Unitas had courage, coolness under fire and the ability to lead, a quality Baltimore teammate John Mackey acknowledged when he said, "It's like being in the huddle with God." The no-nonsense Unitas was a pocket passer who was peerless when it came to standing in against the rush and delivering the ball at the last instant before contact. He also was a play-calling genius who could mentally dissect a defense, make the perfect audible and get the ball to the right player. He was in complete command when a game was on the line and was masterful at driving his team against the clock, an ability that vaulted him into prominence when he led the Colts to their classic overtime victory over the New York Giants in the 1958 title game.

69. Johnny Unitas (1933-2002) Very plain and simply, johnny unitas was one of my heroes,'' Ravenssenior vice president of football operations Ozzie Newsome said. http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/memorial/balt/unitas.html

Source:ESPN.com Johnny Unitas 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 September 11th at age 69. Johnny Unitas was born in Pittsburgh on May 7, 1933, and was only 4 when his father, who had a small coal delivery business, 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 coach. 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. "Johnny U,'' with his trademark crewcut and black hightops, was the first to throw for 40,000 yards and now ranks seventh, surpassed by a group of quarterbacks who played after him, with rules that make passing easier. Unitas retired after the 1973 season with 22 NFL records, among them marks for most passes attempted and completed, most yards gained passing, most touchdown passes and most seasons leading the league in TD passes. Unitas' enormous talent and ability, combined with his penchant for taking command in the huddle, caused some players to view him as overly cocky and arrogant. Unitas called it confidence. "There's a big difference between confidence and conceit. 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.

The Hall of Fame quarterback who broke nearly every NFL passing record died of a heart attack Wednesday. He was 69. Unitas played for the University of Louisville from 1951 to 1954. Although the Cardinals only won 12 games in those four seasons, Unitas starred, completing his collegiate football career with 247 of 502 passes for 2,912 yards and 27 touchdowns. Frank Gitschier, a former Louisville quarterback hired by Coach Frank Camp, recruited Unitas out of St. Justin's High School in Pittsburgh. Notre Dame and Pittsburgh had turned Unitas down, but Gitschier persisted.

He was 69-years-old. Funeral Services were held at the Cathedral of Mary our Queen in Baltimore. Archbishop William Keeler officiated Mass at the closed-casket ceremony. The service was open to the public, and fans and teammates joined Unitas' family in remembrance of "Johnny U." "Johnny Unitas will always be a legendary name in NFL history," league commissioner Paul Tagliabue said. "One of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, he epitomized the position with his leadership skills and his ability to perform under pressure." Johnny Unitas Glance was born on May 7, 1933. Though he grew up in Pittsburgh, it was Baltimore where Unitas first became famous. From 1956-1972 he served as the Baltimore Colts star quarterback. As his legend grew, the 6'1" 195 pound "Johnny U" also became known for his signature crewcut and black hightops. Talented, confident and determined, Unitas often called his own plays on the field. "It's like being in a huddle with God," former Colts teammate John Mackey once said.

var st = location.href; var y = (replaceAll (st, "shtml", "html")); document.write("Print version"); Mail to a Friend A TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY UNITAS: By Darrell Carter T In 1955, Johnny Unitas was drafted in the ninth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 102nd pick in the National Football League annual draft. The former University of Louisville quarterback was cut before the season started. Then, in 1956, he was signed as a free-agent backup for the Baltimore Colts for $7,000. Several games into the season, the first-string quarterback went down to injuries, and Unitas replaced him. The rest is, as they say, history. As a child, like hundreds of thousands of other Baltimore fans, I remember well the thrill of watching him throw passes to John Mackey. John Unitas served his sport with elegance and great appreciation for the art of the game. His hunched shoulders, crew-cut hair, bowlegged physique, and high top shoes became the talk of the league, though his true signature echoed on the playing field, Sunday after Sunday. I had the honor of meeting him on several occasions, and can say that he was a gentle man, as well as a gentleman.

Posted by yhbc at September 12, 2002 12:00 AM People have said these things about that : Okay, this is more my scene (and maybe I should've taken it to sportsfilter ), but since Johnny U. was voted the Greatest QB of All Time in 1969, I can only think of three possible contenders - and two played for the 49er's. The other is still Brett Favre. Rest in peace, Johnny. Posted by: yhbc on September 12, 2002 12:05 AM I'm a Colts fan because of Johnny U., and I was only three years old when they won Super Bowl V.
