Absolutely. Anyone who is familiar with the history of LSU football knows who he was.

Do you even Invincible, bro?
Seriously though, the guy was a beast and sadly ended up suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Philly fans revere the guy.

Anyone with any sense of LSU history is aware of Van Buren

Only became a running back his senior year. He was a blocking back the previous years. He set school records that stood until the 70s. He was a 1st round draft pick by the Eagles and was a 4 time NFL rushing champions in his 7 year career. Retired with a number if NFL records. Great tiger, but he's known for his NFL career.

The first thing I thought of.

Well, he was one of the best players ever to don the purple and gold, as well as a member of the pro football Hall of Fame. Other than that ...

I don't know why I know this but I do. Without looking it up can anyone tell us what his nickname was?

They were actually called "The Van Buren Boys" if you want to get technical
