	Paul Hornung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hornung nicknamed the "Golden Boy," won the Heisman Trophy in 1956 as the year’s outstanding player in the United States College football and is the only player from a losing team (his University of Notre Dame team finished 2-8 that year) ever to win the trophy.
		Forthright in admitting to his mistake, Hornung's image went relatively untarnished, and in 1964 his suspension (and that of Karras as well) was re-evaluated by the League and Hornung returned to play for the Packers for another three seasons before injury problems forced him to retire at the end of the 1966-67 season.
		In a September 2006 interview with Bob Costas, Hornung stated that it was his belief that it was Vince Lombardi's constant lobbying of NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle that got him reinstated in the NFL.
