Johnny Unitas was cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers before he even got a chance to throw one pass in a preseason game. The Steelers' ninth-round draft pick from the University of Louisville then played semipro football with the Bloomfield (Pennsylvania) Rams for $6 per game when Baltimore Colts coach Weeb Ewbank decided to take a chance on the kid with the crewcut. He signed him to a $7,000 contract.
