 Member - Pro Football Hall of Fame

Contemporary accounts indicate that Pollard, an exciting elusive runner, was the most feared running back in the fledgling league.  During his pro football career the two-time All-America played and sometimes coached for four different NFL teams, the Pros/Indians (1920-21/1925-26), the Milwaukee Badgers (1922), the Hammond Pros (1923, 1925), and the Providence Steam Roller (1925).

 WorldNetDaily: Pollard petitions Israel for special status
JERUSALEM – Convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard petitioned Israel's Supreme Court yesterday to grant him special prisoner status, which likely would be a major boost in his fight for freedom, and to investigate what his petition calls Israel's mishandling of his case and years of abuse and torture suffered in U.S. imprisonment.
He was held in Marion for seven years in solitary confinement in a small dungeon cell, where Pollard says he repeatedly was told he would not leave the facility alive – a theme he says permeated his incarceration.
Pollard's sentence is considered by many to be disproportionate to the crime for which he was convicted – he is the only person in the history of the United States to receive a life sentence for spying for an ally.
