...FLANKER: Leroy Keyes, Purdue, 6 ft. 3 in., 205 lbs. The most versatile of the college backs, Keyes seems to have just one shortcoming: there is only one of him. The scouts, citing the way he has demolished Notre Dame on both of fense and defense, are touting him for almost every position on the field except head lineman. Most, however, agree his speed, deceptive moves and pass-grabbing skills would be put to best use as a flanker. "He's so great," says one scout, "a mean coach would use him both ways until he burned...
...willing to trade away good athletes to get them. One of his first acquisitions was Bill George, a linebacker from the Chicago Bears, who is said to have begun his new career in Los Angeles by flattening a malingering teammate. Other trades brought the Rams such established stars as Flanker Bernie Casey, Halfback Tommy Mason, Linebacker Myron Pottios and Cornerback Irv Cross. Allen also drew heavily on his inheritance.

Final score: San Diego 35, Los Angeles...
...quickness was on display for Boston fans last fall, when, in one of the only two games he played, Leo, as flanker, caught a pass from quarterback Babe Parilli and streaked through the Buffalo defense for a snappy touchdown. He also showed fine speed in brief appearances on the kickoff and punt return platoons...
