The guy I never heard of before yesterday.

I have a feeling no one is going to guess the 4th player without “cheating” so I’ll throw it out there. Jack Clancy, Dolphins, 1967.

Name the game:...... In this game, a possibly future HOVG linebacker sacked a Hall Of Fame QB on his first ever NFL career play. The linebacker’s team was coached by a Hall Of Fame coach. The Hall Of Fame QB had no other future Hall Of Fame teammates on this particular day.

Correct! I thought Clancy being on the list was kind of odd, and also that Earl Cooper kind of obliterated Bill Groman's old rookie reception record. Clancy was injured for both the 1968 and 1969 seasons, yet his 1967 was held in such high regard that he was still mentioned in those season's highlight films. Also, in a "Ron Jaworksi for Charlie Young non-trade" kind of way, the Dolphins acquired Marv Fleming from the Packers prior to the 1970 season by shipping Clancy to Green Bay.

I guess you can add Clancy's name to the list of "one-year rookie wonders" that includes RGIII, Don Woods, Ickey Woods, Greg Cook, Elvis Peacock, Paul Robinson, et. al.

Dan Reeves?

Good guess, but no.

[Todd Pence]

Maybe another Bronco assistant, Babe Parilli of the 1977 edition? Parilli was Namath's backup in Super Bowl III and even got in for a few plays when Namath was briefly injured.

It can't be Babe Parilli because Reeves was an assistant coach for the 1975 Cowboys.
