RETZLAFF, PETE (1931-
NFL Player of the Year in 1965
When a former North Dakota farm boy retired from the National Football League in 1966, he was the all-time leader in receptions for the Philadelphia Eagles. Yet, he had never caught a pass while in college. Pete Retzlaff broke many athletic records in high school, college, and the pros, and after retiring from playing football, he served as vice-president and general manager of the Eagles from 1969 to 1972. Retzlaff was named an All-Pro five times, won the Player of the Year Award in 1965, and his Eagle jersey, number 44, was retired. Mysteriously, he has not been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
