When he was playing at Notre Dame, he only had one good season to his name. In his senior year, he served as the starting QB for the Fighting Irish and helped them win most of their games in 1964. After winning the Heisman, the two pro football leagues drafted him. He decided to turn down the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL and commit to the New York Jets of the AFL. Unfortunately for him, they gave the starting spot to Joe Namath instead. From 1966 to 1972, he was only the backup QB.
