Issue 67 of Gridiron magazine is built around the sport’s cult heroes, from a confident quarterback to an icon of special teams, as well as looking at a possible future star. In an exclusive interview, former New York Jets QB ‘Broadway’ Joe Namath talks playing in the Big Apple, life beyond football and that prediction. Steve Tasker, one of the sport’s unheralded stars, discusses special teams, playing on a Super Bowl Bills team and his Hall of Fame credentials. Simon Clancy profiles number one high school prospect Travis Hunter and examines the fallout of Deion Sanders getting him to flip his college commitment away from Florida State. ‘The Human Joystick’, Dante Hall, chats to Neil Reynolds about his career and playing for the Scottish Claymores. Mike Carlson picks his top ten cult heroes — and finds an extra spot for a special triumverate. Our numbers man, Tom Kislingbury, investigates the instability of running back production in light of Jonathan Taylor‘s MVP-esque season. Jeff Reinebold dives into the defensive revival that helped to slow Patrick Mahomes.
