Before there was Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo, there was Gale Sayers and Andy Livingston.
The two running backs looked like the backfield of the future for the Bears in 1965. Sayers was the fourth overall pick of the draft. The 6-1, 230-pound Livingston was a second-year player from Mesa, Arizona, who signed at 19 in 1964 without having played college football. He spent most of the year on the taxi squad, but was activated late in the season and in his second game returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown against the Vikings — less than two months after his 20th birthday.
