[|Jim Thorpe]

Jim Thorpe's track potential was evident in 1907 when he cleared the high jump bar at 5'9" while dressed in street clothes.

That same fall, Jim Thorpe made the varsity football team, playing some and starting the next year as half-back.

Jim Thorpe played for $15 per week, which later tarnished his 1912 amateur Olympic status.

Was named "The Legend" on the all-time NFL Team.
