Father Lombardi.
Imagine how much different it all might have been. The Super Bowl trophy would have a different name inscribed on it, and so much NFL history would have taken other paths, had Vince Lombardi held on to his initial goal in life — to become a priest.
Instead, Lombardi gave up his quest as a young man and took up football. Lombardi won five NFL championships in his short life, including the first two Super Bowls.
