Title: ESPN: A Namath, McElroy lovefest on Twitter

When former Alabama QB Greg McElroy was drafted by the Jets, he spoke eloquently of his fondness for Joe Namath and how his father always idolized Namath. McElroy said he wore No. 12 at Alabama because of Namath and he mentioned that, when he signed with the Crimson Tide, he received a congratulatory voice mail from Broadway Joe. A friendship was born.

Great article.  It looks like GMac gets to be number 12 too:

I would think that is a number that would be retired but then another Alabama man with it. Some good shoes and history to fulfill there. Good luck Greg. RTR!
