That is very cool
Burrow would enjoy looking at some old Unitas film. Many, of the same traits shared by Burrow and Unitas.
Might pick up a trick or two...

“we put in the work”
Joe always talking about it starting in spring ball through summer into fall camp - these young guys need to hear that and embrace the HUGE AND TOITAL AMOUNT of effort it takes to climb to the top. Hopefully this work ethic is so contagious that it just keeps being passed down team after team.

John Unitas was my childhood football hero. Big Baltimore Colts fan before the Saints,
Burrow and Unitas are two quarterbacks tougher than a $5.00 steak. Both extremely confident in their abilities. Well deserved honor, no other QB was even close this season.

My dad had 4 season tickets at Memorial Stadium through the '50's and until the Colts were stolen.
Spent many Sundays at Memorial watching #19 and #82. Watching Joe is like watching Johnny all over again, IMO.

And Y.A. Tittle... He was down 2 scores with 1 1/2 minutes left... and beat us - made it look easy. Dead silence in the stadium and on the walk out. I realize that very few Tigers were around to see him play, but Tittle was one of the best to ever play QB, anywhere.

That’s why these “Best of all time” arguments are so hard to judge. Recency bias tends to take over.
