Well it took a little longer for someone to get the right answer for last week.

Now this week is going to be even a little harder(I think).

I want the name of the person and the school(not high school either) he attended.



H.S: He was a star athlete at Cardinal Newman High School in Santa Rosa, California. He captained the football, basketball and track teams. He ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds and high jumped 6 feet 5 inches.

College: He was used as a wide receiver his freshman year and moved him to inside linebacker just before the Rose Bowl game with.
As a linebacker he made All-America three times.
He was a consensus and unanimous choice.
He set his college school record for most tackles in one game -- 28. He had 23 tackles in one game.
He made 21 tackles in two other games and 20 once.
His career total, 468 tackles, set a school record.
He ranked first, second, and third in tackles per season with 161, 159, 147, respectively.
He returned intercepted passes for touchdowns three times on runs of 95, 72, 69 yards.
The Downtown Athletic Club of New York named him Linebacker of the Year. He received the Pop Warner Award as best west coast player.
He stood 6-3, weighed 208, and wore jersey No. ?, which was retired.
He played pro 14 years.

I'm not looking it up until I guess.

My wild guess is Dick Butkus, Cal.

Give me the pro team! Ok. . .what division?
Butkus wasn't 6'3", was he?

Like I said, a "wild" guess. Butkus played at Illinois not Cal, and if you wanted the pro team that of course is the Bears.

But, you're right Butkus was bigger than that. I've looked online and still haven't found it, but I won't guess again since I've searched.

I knew Butkus was a Bear. I want Tornado to give us the pro team his "who am I" played for.

Sweet! Good choice, I think it may be a winner. He's coming back for the Patriots. Hate the Pats, but I like Junior!

Nope!!!

I will be out of town for the next 3 days(got to head to the boys house in Little Rock), so you two beat your brains out. I will let you know who it is when I get back if you haven't figured it out by then.

Hint: not as well known as the other players I have posting.

You mean you've actually been giving us easy ones?!? I don't think Daniel Ocean and his eleven could break this one out of the vault. . . .

Finally found it online. Jerry Robinson, played at UCLA in the '70s.

That was a tough one, even searching online.

Glad you found it just in time to start a new one.
