NOTE: I'm having a tough time finding stats pre-1977, so if you have any resources/updates for me to mix into the post, let me know.

  1. LOL. I had a sweater just like the one Mo wore for the Washington game. I about wore that thing threadbare. I'm pretty sure it's the only sweater I ever had that I put patches on the elbows.

    Wheatley was an incredible combination of size and speed.
