Caught by Don Hutson! : A Biography of Pro Football's First Modern Receiver Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Revered standout pass catcher Don Hutson played for three Green Bay Packers championship squads between 1935 and 1945 and was a charter-class member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.

An All-American wide receiver for the University of Alabama, the Pine Bluff, Arkansas native was a pioneer of the position, mastering the passing game just as it was reaching maturation.

He invented many of the pass routes still in use today and retired from the game with 19 NFL records, some of which stood for decades.

This first book-length biography chronicles Hutson's life and career during football's leather helmet era of the Great Depression and World War II.
