He spent the majority of his career playing for the Baltimore Colts. He was a record-setting quarterback, and the NFL's most valuable player in 1959, 1964 and 1967. For 52 years, he held the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (set between 1956-1960), until it was broken in 2012 by Drew Brees.
