The legend goes, Homer Jordan was known to eat as many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as his playing weight.
But was it legend?
There is a promotional picture prior to the 1982 season that shows the former Clemson quarterback about to eat one peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a stack beside him, as well. Jordan, who led the Tigers to the 1981 National Championship, says he still eats a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today.
“One of my favorite meals, with Lay’s potato chips and a glass of Kool-Aid,” he said with a big grin.
