Great safety. Practically invented the safety blitz. Once played a game with both hands in casts, and still intercepted a pass.

Dude was a str8 baller. Quick, instinctive, hitter, ball hawk. Love NFL history; a lot of what we see from the S position today, came from this dude.

Too young to have seen him play but about to get on YouTube to try and find some highlights. I too love football history. Any history really it is fascinating to me.
