During his rookie season, the Yanks became the Dallas Texans, which
became the Baltimore Colts in 1953. Marchetti played 13 seasons with the
Colts and helped them win NFL Championships in 1958 and 1959. During
his career, he was noted for being effective against the run and a
relentless pass-rusher. He was voted "the greatest defensive end in pro
football history" by the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1972.
