Finding a playing days card of Red Grange #77, is as hard as hens teeth.
Truly a legendary player of professional football (college too).
Red Grange, aka the "Galloping Ghost," was one of the most significant figures in the early history of professional football. After a legendary college career at Illinois, his decision to join the Chicago Bears in 1925 gave instant legitimacy to the struggling NFL, helping the league gain credibility and national attention. Grange’s speed, athleticism, and popularity drew massive crowds, turned pro football into a serious spectator sport, and laid the foundation for the NFL’s growth into America’s most popular game.
