Could be, I don't know. I'll ask my folks.

Another Fred Dean bit of trivia. Only man faster than him on the football team was one of the RBs. Dude had it all, speed, strength, agility. People who rave over the rush ends of today have no idea Fred Dean was doing it all 40 years ago.

Do that.I've always wondered whether he was related. Walter Dean was a fine college back( Walter Payton 1-AA player of the year once) at Grambling in 1990.


When I was young I mistakenly thought Fred was from Grambling State along with Gary "Big Hands" Johnson. They were a very nasty duo for the Chargers.

Walter Dean should not have won the Payton. DeAndre by far was the best player it was just because Dean went to Grambling.
