Sammy Baw? I expected more from Texas.
Sammy Baugh helped transform the game of football. The NFL became a passing league because of the influence of players like Baugh. Per Wikipedia..."By the time he retired, Baugh set 13 NFL records in three player positions: quarterback, punter, and defensive back."
He led the NFL in passing for 6 seasons and had the lowest number of interceptions for 5. His career punting average was 45.1 yards per kick and he averaged over 50 yards per punt in 1940. As a DB, he was the first NFL player in history to intercept 4 passes in a game.
He was also part of the very first NFL HOF class.
Sammy Baugh was a badass.

I have not the slightest negative thing to say about Baugh, but just for transparency's sake the NFL was only around about 30 years at the time of his retirement.
