Joe Montana Football Cards and Rookie Cards Checklist
Overview
Joe Montana's career achievements and statistics read more like fiction than reality. The four-time Super Bowl Champion is the only player to ever be named the game's MVP three times. His career totals include 3,409 completions on 5,391 attempts, 273 touchdowns, and 139 interceptions, along with 40,551 yards passing, 1,676 yards rushing and 20 additional touchdowns.
Montana was a well-respected leader both on and off the field. A gifted athlete with poise and charisma, Montana honed his passing skills at the University of Notre Dame before being drafted 82nd overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1979 NFL Draft. Under the tutelage of Bill Walsh, he quickly became not only the cornerstone of the team but the face of the franchise as well.
Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000, Montana has also seen his famous number 16 retired by the 49ers. The eight-time Pro-Bowler is ranked as the #4 All-Time player by NFL.com
