Football Player

The Resume

    (January 31, 1913-June 26, 1997)
    Born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas
    Died in Rancho Mirage, California
    Wide Receiver/Safety/Placekicker for the Green Bay Packers (1935 - 1945)
    Assistant coach for the Packers (1944 - 1948)
    Joe F. Carr Trophy winner for NFL MVP (1941, 1942)
    Played football in college for the University of Alabama
    Charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1963)

Why he might be annoying:

    His performance usually gets overshadowed by Jerry Rice thanks in part to how he played decades earlier.
    He only joined the Packers over football's Brooklyn Dodgers because his contract with the Packers was postmarked some 17 minutes earlier.
    He said he got his football abilities from playing with snakes while with the Boy Scouts.
    After his playing career, he made money as an auto dealer and bowling lane owner.

Why he might not be annoying:

    By the time he finished playing football, because of his performance as a wide receiver, passing the ball went from something rarely used to something used often.
    His 99 career touchdown reception NFL record stood for 44 years.
    In one game, he scored four touchdowns and kicked five extra points in a quarter, setting a record that might never be broken for individual points in a quarter. He also still holds the record for most seasons leading the NFL in receptions
    He was the first Green Bay Packer to have his number retired. The Packers have also named their indoor practice facility in his name.
    He ranked #93 in ESPN's Sports Century list of the top North American athletes of the 20th century (1999).
