I’ve heard the story probably a dozen times over the years from my mother in law who was at the game. I don’t let her know she has already shared the story with me. I just let her run with it.
She always said she couldn’t believe how fast Cannon was.
You’re a good person to let her repeatedly tell you her story.

Cannon was either the strongest sprinter or the fastest shot-putter in history.
He was SEC champ in both.
btw - for those who didn't experience that era of players going both ways - Cannot made the stop on the last play of that Ol Miss Halloween game - on the one yard line. (it was at the other end of the field so I didn't get a good look at how close it was - but the crowd went wild again.
Also - Cannon was our punter and field goal kicker - don't recall if he actually did the kick-offs or not - probably did because he was on the field.
