Broadway Joe has reached another milestone in his life. The legendary Jets quarterback celebrates his 80th birthday Wednesday.
The man who guaranteed that the Jets would defeat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III is now an octogenarian.
Namath was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He was a second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 1972, as well as a four-time AFL All-Star before the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini wrote a great piece on a day with the legend in Florida that you can read to help celebrate his birthday.
Namath will get to see two more Jets legends join him in Canton when Darrelle Revis and Joe Klecko are enshrined as part of the Class of 2023 on Aug. 5, as well as seeing the Jets play the Cleveland Browns in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 3.
Happy birthday, Joe.
