Elroy
Wrote Francis Powers of the Chicago Daily News: "Hirsch ran like a demented duck. His crazy legs were gyrating in six different directions all at the same time during a 61-yard touchdown run that solidified the win." From then on, the back and big-play receiver was Crazy Legs. As a member of the 1951 champion Los Angeles Rams, Hirsch caught for 17 touchdowns and a then NFL-record 1,495 yards.
