Joe Namath and Winston Hill were eternally paired together on the football field. It only makes sense their respective football journeys end in Canton, Ohio.
The late Hill was finally named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this week, a long-awaited honor for the accomplished offensive lineman. Hill was a legend of both the NFL and its AFL predecessor, partaking in 15 NFL seasons. All but one was spent with the New York Jets.
One of Hill’s primary duties in green was protecting Namath, a quarterback that joined the Jets in the blocker’s third year.
