Playing with the then New York Titans, “King Pin” teamed with Don Maynard to become the first wide receiver tandem in pro football to each gain 1,000 yards receiving in a single season in 1960. They did it again in 1962. Twice Art led the American Football League in receiving yards, in 1962 with the Titans and in 1963 while with the Oakland Raiders. A champion in the fight against segeregation in pro football, Art Powell would have turned 89 today but passed away back in 2015 at the age of 78.
