Sammy Baugh was the last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's inaugural class.
While he was noted for his passing, Baugh was one of the best all-around players of his day. One season he led the league in passing, defensive interceptions and punting. In one game, he threw four touchdown passes and intercepted four passes. He threw six touchdowns in a game -- twice -- and kicked an 85-yard punt.
A great player then and would be by today's standards too.
RIP Sammy
