Lattner was as versatile as they come back in the day, playing some running back, receiver and defense. He won the Heisman Trophy award despite not leading his team in passing, rushing or receiving during the 1953 college football season. But when you look at the combined numbers he put up, you can understand why he received the award.
Lattner rushed for over 1,700 yards, caught 39 passes, intercepted 13 passes, recovered eight fumbles and returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Oh, did I mention that he also did the punting for this team?
