Editor’s note: some research my be required for this one.
I was born in Pittston, PA and later roamed the gridiron at Georgia. While on the Athens campus I played for Orange, Sugar, and Rose Bowl teams. I won a Maxwell award (for the college football player of the year), and I even batted .464 for the Bulldog baseball team one season. I eventually became the first pick in the NFL draft and completed Charles Bidwill’s ‘million dollar backfield’. During my nine-year career with the Chicago Cardinals I finished in the top ten of each of the following categories at least once – passes completed, passer rating, rushing yards, rushing tds, receiving tds, and all-purpose yards. I played in two Pro Bowls and earned one first team All-Pro nomination. You can find my bust in Canton. Legendary coach, Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant dubbed me the greatest football player he had ever seen.
Who am I?
