In 1965, Namath found himself at the center of a historic tug-of-war between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL). He was an exceptional talent, and both leagues vied for his services in the first round of their respective drafts.

Ultimately, he chose the AFL's New York Jets, signing an unprecedented three-year contract worth over $400,000.

Throughout his illustrious 13-season career in the NFL, he remained fiercely loyal to the Jets, where he spent the first 12 years of his playing days. He proved his mettle as a quarterback, starting in an impressive 125 out of 136 games and achieving a respectable record of 60 wins, 61 losses, and 4 ties.

During his tenure with the Jets, he threw for a staggering 27,057 yards and completed 1,836 passes out of 3,655 attempts. He scored 170 touchdowns but also threw 215 interceptions.

In 1967, he made history by becoming the first quarterback to surpass 4,000 passing yards in a single season. The following year, he had a standout season, earning the prestigious AFL Player of the Year award and unanimous All-Pro selection.

His crowning achievement came in Super Bowl III, where he earned MVP honors, leading the Jets to a stunning victory over the Baltimore Colts.

In his final season in the NFL, he took on a new challenge with the Los Angeles Rams after being traded from the Jets in 1977. However, the season didn't unfold as he had hoped, and he was eventually benched in favor of Pat Haden, leading to his retirement at the end of that season.
