Black Football History Month!... Footballer of the Week!...Kenny Washington!

  

Our 'Footballer Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the first Black Man to, after college, contract 

with a Pro NFL team, the Rams, to play 

half-back and defensive back, with his first 

contest on September 29, 1946 against the 

Philadelphia Eagles at the Los Angeles 

Memorial Coliseum,

plus so much more...

 ...Kenny Washington!

It is rumored that Mr. Washington once said, 

"Straight up the middle first and then 

maybe down the sidelines!"

Kenny Washington also has a mid-upper-lip 

Winge's Peak (elatus labialis wingeulus)

called "'Slippery!"
