Joe Namath, nicknamed Broadway Joe, is a retired American quarterback who played thirteen seasons in the American Football League and National Football League, mostly with the New York Jets. Taken first overall in the 1965 AFL draft after winning a national championship at Alabama, he was a two time AFL Most Valuable Player. In 1969 he guaranteed that the heavily underdog Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III and then delivered the win, the first Super Bowl victory for an AFL team and a landmark upset that helped establish the new league as an equal.
