This NFL player may well be the only player to play for Yankton College in South Dakota *and* win a Super Bowl (XVIII against Washington). If not for car trouble by a Denver Broncos scout, he may had been overlooked. After his football career he starred in a few movies ("Earnest Goes to Camp") and TV shows (the Canadian sitcom "Learning the Ropes") before he died of brain cancer (possibly brought on by steroid use?) in 1992.
