2024
"It came after believing there would never be another Joe Montana, who came following the assertion there would never be another Johnny Unitas — all the way back through football’s history."

2023
"Or does he deserve recognition with the up-front Hall of Fame inductees clique, Brett Favre, Johnny Unitas, Kenny Stabler?"

2022
"The Broncos QB will be trying to do something that Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Johnny Unitas couldn't even pull off"

2021
"Former Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson will join Johnny Unitas as the only football players in school history to have their numbers retired when Louisville celebrates his Number 8 on Nov."

2020
"Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas are Colts greats, but only one QB is allowed on this list"

2019
"Legendary quarterbacks Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, Sammy Baugh, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Roger Staubach, Brett Favre and Dan Marino have all been selected to the NFL's All-Time Team."

2018
"Brady joins Peyton Manning (5), Brett Favre (3) and Johnny Unitas (3) as the only NFL players with at least three MVP Awards and at age 40, becomes the oldest player in NFL history to be named league MVP."

2017
"His Hall of Fame career lasted just 10 seasons (1963-72), but he was a force for those great Baltimore teams of the 1960s and early ‘70s, catching that pivotal and controversial twice-deflected 75-yard touchdown pass from Johnny Unitas in the Colts’ narrow Super Bowl V win over Dallas in January 1971."

2016
"Johnny Unitas was 37 years old when he led the Colts to victory in Super Bowl V after the 1970 season."

2015
"That means he needs only one more to join the three-MVP club, which currently contains only four men—Manning, Favre, Jim Brown and Johnny Unitas."

2014
"So could Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas or Dan Marino."
