Daniel Sandifer (March 1, 1927 – August 15, 1987), was an American football defensive back who played from 1948 to 1953. Because of WWII, he was one of the few college football players to play in two College All-Star Games.
Sandifer was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 1948 NFL Draft out of LSU, and that SAME season he led the NFL with a then record 13 interceptions. Dick "Night Train" Lane's 14 interceptions in a season is the ONLY time Sandifer's record was surpassed in NFL history. Sandifer's 13 interceptions remains the All-Time single season interception record for the Washington Redskins. He also is included in a group of NFL players who hold the record for most interceptions in a game; four - Washington vs. Boston, Oct. 31, 1948, and in that same game returned two interceptions for touchdowns, a record that has never been surpassed. Sandifer was an architect. He was one of the architects of the Louisiana State University Student Union Building in Baton Rouge. Could he get a mention?

I consider myself a semi-historian of LSU football and I didn't even know of him.
I see he was drafted by Baltimore of the AAFC in 48 and the Skins in 48. Played at the same time as Y.A. @ LSU. I see he was a halfback during his time here. Loaded backfield which was 2nd in the nation in rushing in 45.
Bout all I can find on a quick search of my books and such
