Yea, Im sure Jim Thorpe could compete in modern Olympic Games as well...

Billy Cannon couldnt even beat Caitlyn Jenner in a footrace, and he's a fricking woman.

Cannon:
quote:

In his Heisman year, he had 11 yards in 11 carries against Kentucky, 32 yards against Mississippi State, 35 yards against TCU and 48 yards against Ole Miss on Halloween night. His punt return that night was the only one of 31 in his career that produced a touchdown.

Billy Cannon


quote:

Mostly, they watched him perform mythic feats of strength. Once, in a track meet, he ran the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds and threw the shot 54 feet. He knocked a defender cold with a forearm. He took a kickoff back at Texas Tech as a sophomore, and when he reached the end zone, only nine seconds had run off the clock. The play stunned opposing players and mascot alike. "That damn black horse," teammate Scooter Purvis says, "he was even looking at Cannon."


quote:

In high school, they all heard, he got arrested for going downtown and beating up local gay men for fun

quote:


Lead the league in rushing in 1961.


quote:

He is also one of 14 players to score 5+ touchdowns in one game, and also holds the Oilers/Titans franchise record for most points (30) and most touchdowns (5) in a single game.
