What Is johnnyunitas.com?

johnnyunitas.com is a tribute and foundation website centered on Johnny Unitas, the Hall of Fame quarterback who played professionally from the 1950s through the 1970s, mostly with the Baltimore Colts. It is not an official NFL or team site. Instead, it combines a short biography, information about the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation and the Golden Arm Award, a small collectibles shop, and auction announcements tied to his personal collection.

What the site covers

Johnny Unitas biography

The homepage introduces John Constantine “Johnny” Unitas (May 7, 1933 – September 11, 2002), nicknamed “The Golden Arm” and often called Johnny U. It notes that he was a record-setting quarterback and was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1959, 1964, and 1967. It also highlights that his record of throwing touchdown passes in 47 consecutive games between 1956 and 1960 remained unsurpassed as of 2012, and that he is widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. A “Read More” link leads to a fuller account of his life and career.

Golden Arm Foundation

The site explains that Unitas’s charity work matched his playing achievements. In 1987 he started The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation to promote the game of football and to provide financial assistance to underprivileged and deserving young athletes.

Golden Arm Award

The Golden Arm Award is presented annually by the foundation to the top senior or upperclassmen quarterback in college football. The site frames the award as recognizing positive contributions in college sports beyond touchdown passes and tackles.

Collectibles shop

A shop section lists memorabilia with prices shown on the page, including:

• Johnny Unitas 1967 Legacy Jersey, Baltimore Colts — $362.00
• Bradford Exchange, “The Great Super Bowl Quarterbacks” Collection — $212.00
• Bradford Exchange “Longton Crown” Collection — $312.00

A “Load More” option suggests additional items may be listed.

Auction announcements

The site promotes a Hunt Auctions Super Bowl LVIII Live Auction. Lots 153–223 and 318–375 are described as coming from Unitas’s personal collection, offered publicly for the first time, each accompanied by a letter of provenance from the Unitas family. A “View Auction” link is provided.

Who the site is for

• Fans and researchers looking for a concise overview of Unitas’s career and records.
• Students and followers of college football wanting background on the Golden Arm Award and its criteria.
• Collectors interested in Unitas-related memorabilia or the family-provenance auction lots.
• People exploring the foundation’s mission of supporting young athletes.

What to keep in mind

The site is a commemorative and foundation resource, so it is best treated as a starting point for biography and award information rather than as an official league or team record. Prices and auction details reflect what is displayed on the page and can change; confirm current availability and terms directly with the shop or auction house before acting.
