Who am I?

October 15, 2008 by Paul Gotham 6 Comments

I grew up surrounded by the coal-mines of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. I would go on to play college pigskin at California. There I finished second in the Heisman voting despite out-rushing the winner and earned a first-round selection in the NFL draft. During my ten-year NFL career, with two different teams, I appeared in three Pro Bowls. I rushed for 1,000 yards on two occasions. I led the league in touchdowns once, and my career total still ranks in the top 25 all-time. I also threw four touchdown passes during my career. I scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the 1982 AFC playoff game that many consider to be one of the greatest games ever played.

    Muels,

    Don’t worry the Challenge is less than a week away. You have to be in it to win it.
