Joe Montana Comments on Physical, Mental Toll of NFL Career

The topic of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s legacy and historical rank among signal-callers will be a hot-button issue following Sunday’s Super Bowl 50, especially if it is his final game. One quarterback he, and arguably everyone else in league history, is still chasing is Joe Montana.

Montana won four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers and has made a handful of media appearances leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl in the Bay Area. However, the Hall of Famer discussed the overall toll of his NFL career with Josh Peter of USA Today on Friday, rather than his 40,551 passing yards and 273 touchdown passes.
