Alan Ameche went from Heisman Trophy Winner to UPI NFL Rookie of the Year and was the starting Running Back for the Baltimore Colts for six seasons. That was from 1955 to 1960, the glory period for Baltimore. We have referenced the two straight Championships for Baltimore (and we will again) and the “Greatest Game Ever Played”. Ameche was a part of that and was the man who scored the winning touchdown in that game.
Overall, Ameche has a Rushing Title, four Pro Bowls, and two titles and would have done more had he not had to retire early due to a torn Achilles.
