In 1975, when he was with the Chiefs, Matuszak was found nearly comatose in the locker room, as a result of mxing drugs with alcohol, and head coach Paul Wiggin rushed him to the hospital to save his life.

John Matuszak, 1973-81 -- The man they called "Tooz'' was the No. 1 pick in 1973, going to the Houston Oilers out of the University of Tampa.
