Y.A. Tittle
Y.A. Tittle played as quarterback from 1948 until 1964 for the Baltimore Colts, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Giants. He’s known for “the blood picture,” where he was pictured following a sack as blood gushed down his head. He suffered from a cracked sternum and concussion, but lead the Giants to a win the following week. That’s probably why he was known as “Old Reliable.”
