Joe Namath Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Joseph William “Joe” Namath (/nem/; produced May 31, 1943), nicknamed “Broadway Joe” or “Joe Willie”, is a former American football quarterback. Namath was an American Football League star and played for that league’s New York Jets for most of his professional football career, and concluded his career together with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1985. During his thirteen years in the AFL and NFL he played for three division winners (the 1968 and 1969 AFL East Champ Jets and the 1977 NFC West Champion Rams), earned one league tournament (1968 AFL Championship), and one Super Bowl success (Super Bowl III).
In 1999, he was rated number 96 on “The Sporting News'” list of the 100 Best Football Players. He was the only real player on the list to have spent a bulk of his career with all the Jets. He’s famous for once boldly ensuring a Jets’ victory over Don Shula’s NFL Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III (1969) and then making good on his forecast using a 16-7 triumph for the Jets.
