The NFL expanded to 14 teams in 1961 with the addition of the Minnesota Vikings and that year saw a host of talented quarterbacks take the field, including six future Hall of Famers. In 1961, photographer Ralph Morse captured this 8x10-inch image of all 14 quarterbacks in a Chicago studio for LIFE Magazine. This photograph features signatures from eight of the 14 quarterbacks captured in the image, including Hall of Famers Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Sonny Jurgensen and Y.A. Tittle. In addition to them, Norm Snead, Zeke Bratkowski, Don Meredith and John Brodie all signed the photo alongside their picture. Other 1961 quarterbacks appearing in the photograph include Milt Plum, Bobby Layne, Sam Etcheverry, Bill Wade, Jim Ninowski and Frank Tarkenton. The signed photo comes with a full PSA LOA #U05360.
