John Madden

Arguably the greatest icon in football history, Madden's rare combination of charisma, vision, and leadership made generations of fans fall in love with the game.  See how his love of Vince Lombardi set his path to coaching, where he shaped the identity of the legendary Oakland Raiders and follow his climb to a Super Bowl title, growth as the voice of pro football on television, influence through video games, and enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame – all of which Madden attributed to his vocation as a teacher.
