Broadway Joe!! He was great as a player and has been an excellent alumnus. He actually graduated in the same class as my son. Namath's daughter kept bugging him to get his degree. He took online classes and graduated in Dec of 2007, in the same ceremony as my son. One thing Namath did that showed a lot of class, when the graduate's name is called he walks across the stage, gets his diploma, and walks down an aisle to a "backstage" area. Then he returns to his seat. Namath did walk out and get his diploma, but stayed backstage. He said he wanted it to be about the kids, not about him.
There will be several former UA players that will standout in the 2021 NFL season.
Derrick Henry
Calvin Ridley
Najee Harris
And one that will really surprise people is if Mac Jones gets to start ahead of Cam Newton during the season. Cam is slipping.
