I openedthis thread just to see if I had heard of any of the names

don't follow the sport at all never even seen a game on tv or otherwisw but I had heard of Elway, Montana and Marino


Think Elway cropped up on pictureboard on Question of Sport about 20 years ago. Montana was mentioned in a film I once saw and not sure why I have heard of Marino - is he a coach now, that might be it ?

Am i right in thinking in American Football some players never actually touch the ball in the game ?
