Jack Crawford

Who remembers Jack Crawford, think he was a Penn Stater but may have used a different name? Just noticed he retired from the NFL.

He was a good player. He hadn't played a lot of ball before coming to PSU. he was a brit...had an accent. Good guy and really benefited from his PSU career.

Agreed....he kind of reminds me of Oweh. He had a great football body but was inexperienced. He was good at PSU, not great. he apparently continued to improve in the NFL and lasted ten years. That is good money and a significant pension to last him the rest of his life after age 65. My guess is that his pension will exceed $200k annually with ten years of experience.

I remember the kid. He was from London and we recruited him to come here.
I seem to remember he was all big ten. Congrats to the kid, he did well for himself!

Interesting story on how ended up in America. Played both TE and DE for PSU his freshman year. Replaced Maybin his sophomore year.
