Unless you have really good eyes you may not have noticed my avatar. It is the picture of one of the two best college football players I have ever laid eyes on.
Tommy Nobis and Earl Campbell.
One is in the NFL Hall of Fame. The other is well past due that honor.
Rich McKay, GM of the Atlanta Falcons release a letter today, making the case for Mr. Nobis.
Just a sophomore on Royal’s first national championship team, Tommy became the face of the program from his first varsity contest. His senior year Nobis became the only player to win the Outland Trophy (best interior lineman) and Maxwell Trophy (best overall player).
