Vince Lombardi
With five championships in his nine seasons leading the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi is remembered as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Here, Lombardi sketched out some of his most successful plays, including a 51-yard touchdown pass from QB Bart Starr to TE Carroll Dale on a post pattern from the 1966 NFL Championship game. The Packers won that game and then claimed the first Super Bowl trophy, which later came to be known as the Lombardi Trophy.
