re: Need Help Remembering Old NFL Player

The biography on him ‘4th Down & Forever’ is a great read.

He’s one of, if not THE all-time ‘what could have been’ football players. Arguably one of the most athletic football players of all time.

He drove Bud Wilkinson crazy at Oklahoma, Don Shula couldn’t deal with him when he was with the Colts, the Giants HC wanted to kill him. He played with the Saints too.

He would skip practice, make up injuries, etc. He clearly either had a mental illness, a chemical imbalance, or both. Plus he was an a-hole. He loved fighting and causing chaos.

Died in a motorcycle accident in rural Texas in the 80’s.
