Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has agreed to play Johnny Unitas in the upcoming film, "Unitas We Stand," according to Joe Unitas, Johnny's son.
"Obviously, the Baltimore ties are very important to me," Joe Unitas told the Baltimore Sun.
"I think it's great that Joe just won the Super Bowl with the Ravens and was Most Valuable Player in the game. A lot of the way Joe plays and his demeanor reminds me a lot of my dad. He's not a rah-rah guy. He throws a touchdown and maybe there's a little fist pump. ... (Flacco) does things the right way and is a good role model for kids and he gets what hard work is and does everything he can for the team. There are a lot of parallels that can be drawn between Joe and my dad."
