From my season-ticket holding friend in Kansas City: My friend played Lightweight Football at Penn. When I met him at law school and learned that he'd played Lightweight, I asked him if he was any good. He said he was an all-American. Chuckled, and said he was all-conference and there was only one conference, so he assumed he must be all-american too. Made sense to me. His uncle was Ed Asner of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. We used to stay at Uncle Ed's house in Hollywood, and he'd take us to set for practices and around LA. Huge fun. I met everyone on the show several times.
"He was clearly done here, although strangely the two biggest plays in his career were in the post season after the 22 season. He made a nice punt return setting up the winning FG against Cincinnati in the AFC championship and caught an easy td in the super bowl, but overall a pass dropping bust."
