He was a 10-time Pro Bowler, 4-time NFL champion, 3-time NFL MVP, All Decade team for the 1960s, and a 4-time league leader in passing yards and touchdown passes. His record of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass stood for almost 52 years before being broken by Drew Brees in 2012. Unitas was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979, and died of a heart attack in 2002.
