Bobby Layne passed himself into Football immortality last season as he gained his 23,877th yard passing. This mark surpassed Sammy Baugh's previous high of 22,085 yards gained. A thirteen year veteran, Bobby gained stardom in the National Football League with the Detroit Lions. Three years ago, he joined the Steelers and helped make the Pittsburgh team one of the powerhouses of passing. Bobby broke into the pro ranks after a great college career at Texas. Not only was he a sensational football player but was just as good on the baseball diamond. He started with the Bears in '48, moved to the old N. Y. Bulldogs, and stayed at Detroit for 8 years.
