Gale Sayers was the greatest....did I just see that....running back ever. The guy was on a whole other level when it came to....wow!!!!!
Don't take my word for it....
His first four seasons he averaged over five yards a carry, which it did for his career. Now add 6 kick returns and 2 punt returns to score. How many starting running backs can say that?
"The Kansas Comet" was very special, a one of a kind.
What gets lost in his story is his older brother Roger was faster than he was, he was a legit world class sprinter who once beat Bob Hayes.
One of my prized possesions
5 time pro bowler, 4 time all pro, in six seasons.
He was the nations top HS long jumper with 24-10 1/2
