OT Fun: For the old timers
- Thread starter BackinBlack86
- Start date
Bib...no googling on my part yet. First of all I think it would be the West All stars....probably practicing on the SoCal Campus back when the All Star game meant something.
QB..Johnny Unitas (colts), LG-Jim Parker (colts), FB- Jim Taylor (pack)? (I am sure he wore #31), RT- Forrest Gregg (pack).
After that I would be in total guess mode. The ends are driving me nuts on this as are the HB's....

#41 is a tough one. Hint..
He blew out his knee the following season and it ended his career. He played HB at Michigan then was a DB in the pro's until he switched to receiver and made the pro bowl in 63 and 64 as a receiver .. then the knee went

That ‘64 colts team ran roughshod through the NFL that year. Then in the NFL title game, they got blown out by the Browns. Jim Brown was the man….
I never saw anybody like JB on a consistent year in and year out basis. There was that idea that there were 2 categories of athletes: power and finesse. JB and Ali combined both. The dude wouldn't run out of bounds unless he had to stop the clock. He hurt the tacklers.
Some guys periodically remind you of JB...like Henry from Tenn....but there was only one.....
Speaking of Republican running backs, Herschel Walker is running away in all the polls in the GA US Senate race. He was a magnificent college RB...
Every time I hear Hershel’s name, for some reason Earl Campbell pops into my mind, just thinking out loud
