Description: This 1955 Bob Watkins Bowman Card #58 NFL Chicago Bears is the exact item you will receive and has been certified Authentic by REM Fine Collectibles. Robert Archbald Watkins Jr. (March 30, 1932 – September 25, 2022) was a former American football halfback who played college football at Ohio State University and professionally in the National Football League (NFL). Watkins was the 23rd selection in the 1955 NFL Draft. He played three years with the Bears before ending his career with the crosstown Chicago Cardinals. Watkins was one of the first African American running backs at the Ohio State University. He lettered from 1952 through 1954 and was one of the first recruits of legendary Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes. Hayes shrugged off criticism by some bigoted alumni, insisting he would not consider recruits based on skin color. Watkins was Ohio State's leading rusher in 1953 and leading scorer during the 1954 national championship season.
