Third-string backup to Starr and Bratkowski dies at 76
He won an NFL title in 1965 and probably would have won a Super Bowl, except that he was selected by the Falcons in the expansion draft. After a year with the Falcons, he retired from the NFL to... finish dental school and become an orthodontist. Shows how well the league paid in those days.

Yes I have his card---one of the more unique because back in the day, Topps would just use whatever picture they had of the guy, even if the team didn't match.
Weird ass weirdos.
Add that as a tag.
We're shut-ins.
Better to be a shut-in than an ass-weirdo like Henry.

Holds the ball too high!
Through the miracle of St. Vince's time machine (why not -- he did everything else while in GB), in that picture Claridge was just caught fielding the extra point snap from one of the wanna-be long snappers the Packers used last season.
