60 days to kickoff, which means . . . NOBI S !!!!! And as honorable mentions, H A G E R and S E N D L E I N and J O N E S Oh, and R E N F R O for one game, the 1999 Cotton Bowl
Nobis is obviously well known for his LB skills but he was a starting OG as well. Texas coach Darrell K. Royal called him "the finest two-way player I have ever seen." 3 time All-SWC 2 time All-American Outland Trophy winner Maxwell Award as best player in the country College Football hall of Fame Texas High School Hall of Fame #1 pick in 1966 NFL draft - Atlanta Falcons NFL Rookie of the Year 5 time Pro Bowler 2 time All-Pro Falcons retired Nobis's #60 Georgia Sports Hall of Fame Texas Sports Hall of Fame Not a bad resume
Compared to #60 yesterday, today's #59 is slim pickings. Best I could come across is Rick Burleson (practice squad 1973-74, lettered in 1975). No relation to the baseball player,meets I can tell.
