Jimmy. Afraid I cannot be of any help here with this famous player as I did not follow NFL when I was just a kid. All I know is I DO know his name was as famous as any NFL player of all time, so he had to be as great as they say he was. I only remember his name as I was a young teen and did not follow NFL at all back then-sorry.
