There was a petition drive to name the Ravens’ stadium after Mr. Unitas, but the naming rights were leased by M&T Bank. Instead the plaza in front of the stadium was named “Unitas Plaza”. (edit)

For so many years the Unitas has been a pre-cursor to the Heisman and it looks like it could be that way this year. Looking at the candidates, there's a couple of rocket arms, a couple of future pros, and a couple of over-rated guys.

Unitas became a subject of controversy in the mid-1980s. He used his celebrity status to endorse many projects. One of them was a second mortgage company, First Fidelity Financial Services, Inc., of Hollywood, Florida. The company went bankrupt and its founder was convicted of fraud. Unitas was sued for endorsing a bad product. By 1998, he presided over two companies that bore his name.

The Colts offered Unitas $7,000 to sign early in 1956, and he joined them for their spring session. Ewbank liked what he saw, even Unitas' size - he had filled out to 6-1 and 190 pounds.
