    Nope, but I think he got some gq votes for his watch

    I looked it up. Wouldn’t have gotten him. Had a decent career.

    He did and has had a very fascinating life.

    apparently predated Taylor, Rogers and the rest with a bad cocaine habit. (And this is not a hint that it is Hollywood Henderson)

    Since it is next to impossible for the last guy, a hint: played majority of his career with the packers.

    The answer was Chester Marcol in 1972. Rookie and all pro for the packers.

    In 1980, while apparently under the influence of cocaine, he avenged Garo Yepremiem by catching his own blocked kicked and then running around end for a 25-yard game winning touchdown.

    If were a PK, I would definitely be a loose cannon like that. I mean, what the hell else are you supposed to do with all that free time?

    CW, damn I had it and posted but you beat me with the answer seconds prior. Packers and dope helped me put two and two together. This is fun.

    Lo siento, I figured it had been sitting there forever.

    You’re up then for next question.

    So I thought Justin Tucker was going to be one of the answers based on something I had Googled. I just went back and realized it was some dumbass from ESPN who decided to be hipster on ESPN's vote not the actual vote.

    Who was the first player to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons in the NFL?

    A while back, I looked up Steve Little, who was one of the few kickers drafted in the first round. Since he was drafted when I was young, I wondered who he was and what happened to him, since I hadn’t really heard of him.

    And it turned out, holy shit. He kicked poorly for a couple of years, the Cards cut him after he lost a kicking competition in practice; he left the facility, went to a bar, got drunk, crashed his car and ended up a quadriplegic. Talk about your bad days.
