How good of a football player was Gale Sayers
Gale Sayers is, as of this moment, a "rabbit pulled out of a hat". Imagine a rookie from Nebraska setting a new record for number of touchdowns in a season during his first year on the National Football League! Gale Sayers was Papa Bear Halas' number one draft choice.
He modestly credits his success to the hard charging offensive linemen and his fellow hacks, but his team mates and coaches insist that he is a sound and sensible player and that he earned every one of his 22 touchdowns. Most of them came on thrillingly executed broken field runs that delighted Chicago Bear fans.
