couldn’t believe how fast Cannon was.

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.
