Every NFL Team’s Best Draft Pick of All-Time

<p>Joe Namath was the No. 12 pick by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1965 NFL Draft and the No. 1 pick by the Jets in the AFL Draft and his signing with New York helped lead to the merger between the AFL and the NFL. Namath may still be the most popular Jets play today.</p> <p>The five-time Pro Bowlers is a member of the Hall of Fame and is known for his guarantee that the Jets would beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. He did that in what is still considered one of the biggest upsets in NFL history.</p> <p>Namath led the NFL in completions, attempts and yard in 1966-1967 as well as interceptions, but the game’s most marketable player helped usher in a new era for pro football and opened the door to a whole new base of fans as women became fans like never before.</p> <p>In his 12 years with the Jets, Namath was 60-61-4 and threw 220 interceptions to 173 touchdowns, but because of the Super Bowl win and the impact he had on the merger, Namath is the Jets best pick over the likes of Joe Klecko, Mark Gastineau, Darrelle Revis and Nick Mangold.</p>.
