Heavy Metal: the Ncfaa Newsletter (Nov. 13, 2020)
HEAVY METAL: THE NCFAA NEWSLETTER (NOV. 13, 2020) Farewell to The Golden Boy: Paul Hornung (1935-2020) Paul Vernon Hornung, one of the all-time great college and pro football players from the 1950s and 60s, passed away today in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., at age 84 after a long battle with dementia. Hornung is survived by his wife of 41 years, Angela Hornung. Legendary Green Bay Packer Football Coach Vince Lombardi once called Hornung, “The most versatile man ever to play the game.” Nicknamed “The Golden Boy” due to his blond hair and handsome features, Hornung won the 1956 Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame as a quarterback, then was a star halfback and placekicker for the Green Bay Packers team that ruled the NFL in the 1960s. Hornung is a member of the college and pro football halls of fame and the namesake of the Paul Hornung Award, presented annually to the most versatile player in major college football. The number one pick by the Green Bay Packers in the 1957 NFL Draft, Hornung became an all-pro halfback in the 1960s who could run, pass, catch, block and kick. The zenith of his colorful NFL tenure came during three exceptional seasons in 1959, 1960 and 1961 when Hornung led the NFL in scoring two of those years and finished second the other year by one point. In 1960, he capped by a stellar season when he scored a record 176 points in 12 games on 15 touchdowns, 15 field goals and 41 extra points – a mark that would stand for nearly 46 years.

Eagles' Team Travel
PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

Mini Bio: Paul Hornung
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 2 (1991) Mini Bio: Paul Hornung Hornung was college football’s greatest star in 1956 when he was a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Notre Dame. The Green Bay Packers made him their bonus selection in the 1957 draft. But for two years he struggled as he was shuffled ineffectively between quarterback and halfback by the inept Packers. When Vince Lombardi arrived as coach of the Pack in 1959, he handed Hornung the left halfback position – a key slot in Lombardi’s offense. The change in Hornung was incredible. The 6-2, 220-pound blond became a pro superstar with his all-around play, excelling as a runner, receiver, blocker, kicker and team leader. He had a “nose for the end zone.” After leading the NFL in scoring with 94 points in 1959, he broke all records with 176 in 1960 and followed with 146 in ’61. He was twice league MVP. At his best in big games, Hornung set a playoff record with 19 points in the 1961 Championship Game while on weekend leave from the army. Green Bay’s “Golden Boy” was known for his high-living lifestyle, and he was suspended for the 1963 season for gambling problems. In 1964, he returned to score 107 points for the Pack. He finished his career with 62 touchdowns and 760 points scored. Mini Bio: Ken Houston Houston was a linebacker at Prairie View A&M, but the Houston Oilers drafted him on the ninth round in 1967 to play safety. It was a great choice.
