Simpson,” - Don Heinrich, QB, New York Giants “He could change his course two and three times in one run. He was unbelievable,” - Billy Wilson, end, 49ers “ McElhenny was like a bowling ball thrown with body English, It slides crazily down the alley, curls around the pins and scatters them gently,” - Frankie Albert, QB, 49ers “Mac was the greatest broken-field runner football has ever seen,”- Y.A. Tittle, QB, 49ers “He ran around you, through you and, if the situation demanded it, right over you,” - UCLA coach Red Sanders. "If you love pro-football, you'll love this book.
