Black Football History Month!... Footballer Of The Week!...Elmo Wright!

  

Our 'Footballer of the Week'

for this week 

goes to:

The Big Black Man, 6-0, 190, who was the 

first football player in NFL history to do a 

dance after scoring a touchdown on a day 

 in 1969, as a University of Houston player  

against the Florida Gators, and the dance 

consisted of several seconds of high 

stepping, but many in the crowd and players 

on opposing teams didn't like it, and thought 

it was unnecessary showboating, however he 

loved to do it because, the league stopped 

him from spiking the ball after a TD, and 

he felt like he had to do some sort of 

celebration, and later Elmo would be the 

first to do it in the NFL as a member of 

the Kansas City Chiefs against the Redskins

in 1973, plus Elmo holds numerous 

records at the University of Houston that 

still stand today, 

and way so much more...








...Elmo Wright!




It is rumored that Elmo once 

said, "If you get a Touchdown against a 

team that's trying to pulverize you, 

you'd dance too!"
