I knew who all of those were except one. Googled him and it turned out to be a Bammer. I think he is highly overrated even though he apparently invented catching passes and I have never seen him play or seen film of him.
Retired in 1945. 2 way player, 8 time 1st team All-Pro.
Yes. Two way player. I already established that. Five of the All Pro selections were awarded years after the fact and most by obscure groups. One was awarded by a damn laundromat. One came in 1941 when he was the 20th ranked player at his position in the league. But he counts it anyway.
I guess Bammers were arrogant historically challenged pricks even then. It is written that Bear claimed to be the "other end." But just how do two boys from Arkansas end up in Tuscaloosa during the depression? Train you say?I wonder.
