Ep 45: Hugh McElhenny -- Long Live the King!

Hugh "the King" McElhenny was the Elvis  Presley of football -- his  electrifying moves left his  opponents in a daze. When he retired after the 1964 season, McElhenny was one of only three players to have gained more than 11,000 all-purpose yards. Altogether, on rushing, receiving, kickoff returns, punt returns, and fumble returns, he totaled 11,375 yards  or more than six miles.  And , as he tells us in this interview, he took a pay cut to go pro.
