Paul Hornung

Life tends to humble every single one of us. This rule applies to golden boys as well. Paul Hornung called himself the gridiron star who bagged the Heisman Trophy for Notre Dame. He also earned the MVP award during his time with the Green Bay Packers. He was a lady’s man and collaborated with electric shavers and Marlboro in the past. Sadly, he and Alex Karras were suspended for the 1963 season since they bet on games. You are now going to find his name on both the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame! At the time of his death, he had dementia. The end came for him in November.
