Won the Heisman Trophy and then passed away without ever playing a pro game.
Almost happened: Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield.
Not sure how that was going to happen. Brown finished at SU in 1956 (1955 was his last football season); Davis started at SU in 1959.
Davis is a good call.
Pro not college. Browns acquired his rights after he was drafted by Washington. Never played for Browns but his assigned jersey 45 is retired by them.
