Trivia of the obscure

Post by Bryan »

The last names of this starting offensive guard tandem combined for seven (7) total letters. Name the tandem!

Hmmm. The best I can come up with is May/Grimm 8 letters.

This tandem wasn't nearly as notable as those two.

I was going to say Pat Shea and Ron Mix, but then I remembered that Mix was a tackle.

Hints: both players were from the ACC, and this tandem played together for 4 years. In the 5th year, one of the players was traded to Philadelphia in midseason.

Hint #3: One of the players made the All-Rookie team.

Billy Ard of the Giants should be one.

This is on the right track it terms of era, but I don't think anyone will get this. The correct answer is the Indianapolis Colts tandem of Ben Utt and Ron Solt. Thought that was a weird name combo.

Next question...this player led his Super Bowl-winning team in TD receptions even though he only caught 16 passes. Who is this player?

Not to spoil it for anybody else, I'll just say he was a former quarterback.
