	Bobby Layne - Japan
		In 1946, Bobby Layne finished 8th in Heisman Trophy balloting to Glenn Davis of Army and in 1947 he finished 6th to John Lujack of Notre Dame, and was voted the Outstanding Back in the 1948 Sugar Bowl victory over #6 Alabama.
		Bobby Layne was known more for his leadership and determination than for pure athletic ability.
		Layne was also famous for his late-night bar-hopping, and his heavy drinking may have led to his death shortly before his 60th birthday.

		Bobby Layne, number 22 on his jersey and number 1 in the hearts of his fans, wore a boy's tiny shoulder pads under his jersey.
		Bobby had lead a hard life (his father died when he was 7, he was adopted by an aunt and uncle) and Halas used this knowledge to adroitly appeal to Layne and convince him to sign in Chicago.
		Layne was reunited with former Coach Parker and in the trade, but still the move was puzzling to many fans since the Lions had traded their greatest and most popular star.

	Bobby Layne Biography
		Layne was stunned and hurt and it is during this time he was alledged to have cursed the Lions for 50 years.
		Bobby did not hide the fact that he liked to party and remarked that the way to die would be to run out of cash and air at the same time.
		Bobby was not the most gifted or talented person in the NFL at the time, his passes sometimes looked like wounded ducks on the field, but his drive, leadership, and clutch play (he is credited with creating the 2 minute offense) made him invincible.

	The Blond Bomber: A Look At Bobby Layne

		Layne's career numbers pale in comparison to recent stars such as John Elway and Dan Marino, but he was the game's most prolific passer at the time of his retirement with 26, 768 passing yards.

	NFL Starting Quarterbacks of 1950- Bobby Layne
