Tragic Loss: Former Ohio State Football Legend Dies Suddenly at 71—The Untold Story Behind His Final Years
“I played offensive line at 6-foot-1 and about 257 pounds. That was a decent size back then, but that would be small by today’s standards. The athletes are so much bigger and faster today. The game has changed a lot, in a lot of ways, but it still comes down to blocking and tackling. We used to just line up, knock people down, and then hand the ball to Archie Griffin. I was fortunate to play with an outstanding player like Archie. He is the same now as he was way back then – very humble and very appreciative of the talents he was given. He never thought he was better than anyone else, even with two Heisman Trophies. And he still appreciates his offensive linemen,” he told the Toledo Blade.
