![]() Montana often leads us into thinking that pro football is scripted in storybook fashion, that he is the white-hatted, all-American Comeback Kid for whom the impossible just happens. But his triumphs are forged from very real talent. He is a great athlete -- he pitched three Little League perfect games back in Monongahela, Pa., for instance, and turned down a basketball scholarship to North Carolina State -- but as a quarterback, it is his vision afield that sets him apart. --From Sports Illustrated's 40th Anniversary Issue, September 19, 1994; by Rick Telander
