Wreathed in sweat and steam, Tackles Dick Modzelewski (6 ft., 260 Ibs.) and Rosey Grier (6 ft. 5 in., 285 Ibs.) block up the middle. Boss of the defensive backfield is gritty Jimmy Patton (5 ft. 10 in., 180 Ibs.), a fleet (9.9 sec. for the 100) ball hawk who has suffered concussions batting down passes...
