One of the fastest Running backs of the late 60s, his knees finished him. RIP Gayle Sayers.

Clearly one of the most exciting players in any sport. If you've never seen him do yourself a favor and search YouTube. A favorite of mine even though I was never a Bears fan.

I will always remember the movie Brian's Song. I really looked up to Sayers when I was a kid.

In Sayers' 3rd year, Coach Halas wanted him to return less kickoffs and punts, thought it might help lengthen his career. So Sayers 'only' returned 3 punts, 1 for a TD, and 19 Kickoffs, 3 for TDs Yes, 19 total returns and still took 4 of them to the house...

RIP Gale Sayers

In the early 90s Gale Sayers was at my mom's work for a speaking engagment. She said afterwards he was talking to all of the employees and he signed a photo for my mom to give to me. Really a classy guy.
