Brandon Doll rummaged through his late grandfather’s garage back in 2011, looking for photos from Don Doll’s six NFL seasons and 34 more coaching at the college and professional level.
He found something else all together.
Reflective metal brought attention to an old trophy collecting dust on a shelf. Brandon Doll took a closer look, and was shocked to see such an important artifact tucked from view. It honored Don Doll, 1953 Pro Bowl MVP. Brandon knew his grandfather was a four-time Pro Bowler, with an MVP to his credit. He knew Don Doll finished with 41 interceptions, an NFL record when he retired after the 1954 season.
