GOATS and Grails: A Personal Dream (Football Edition)

Gayle Sayers 1966 Philadelphia #38

Position: Halfback

Team: Chicago Bears (1965-1971)

Pro Football Hall of Fame: 1977

The “Kansas Comet” played seven glorious seasons with the Bears before knee injuries ended his career prematurely.  Although a Hall of Famer, Sayers is more well known for the movie Brian’s Song which details his friendship with teammate Brian Piccolo and is based on Sayers’s autobiography I Am Third, where he describes he journey toward deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.  Gayle Sayers was a Hall of Fame player and person, and that is why he makes my list.
