Those old box camera photos are the best - no long lenses, just one huge ass negative to work with and a wonderful "eye's view" of the action.

2x All Big Ten

Cornelius "Neal" Colzie (No one ever called him Cornelius)

He played Left Halfback on some of Ohio State's best defenses, a position we would call Cornerback today. He was also a dynamic punt returner both at Ohio State and in the NFL. He holds the Ohio State record for the longest punt return in a bowl game, a 56 yarder to the USC 9-yard-line in the 1974 Rose Bowl. It set up the go-ahead score, beginning a 22-0 run to close out the game 42-21. He once turned down a movie role because it would have required him to wear a Stealers uniform. He died in August of 2001 at the age of 48. Rest In Peace.
