30 for 30 - 30 for 30 Shorts: The Throwback

Seizoen: 0 - Aflevering: 84 / 103 - Eerst uitgezonden: 05 december 2016 - Episode ID: 1426139

There was a time when a football player was asked to play both offense and defense, when a running back might switch over to linebacker, or a safety might transform into a wideout. That was the way it was before unlimited substitution was introduced in the '60s. It was also a double standard that was revived 20 years later for one very special player. His name was Gordie Lockbaum, and when his coaches at Division 1-AA Holy Cross saw how talented he was, they decided to turn back the clock. In this 30 for 30 Short, produced and directed by Erin Leyden, Lockbaum and witnesses look back on the heady days when he might play in 143 of the Crusaders' 170 plays, attracted national attention, and became a finalist for the Heisman Trophy-twice, in 1986 and 1987. Though he was too undersized to make an NFL roster, Lockbaum remains a very big man on the Holy Cross campus.
