I remember seeing a picture of Ernie in the local paper attending a Syracuse spring practice. My thought was that he looked healthy and that he would surly give cancer the boot. (the cancer was in remission) It was a short time later when I read that headline stating Ernie was dead at the age of 23.

They had this scene in the movie
 
"They turned all the lights off, and then they introduced Ernie and they flashed the spotlight on him as he walked through the goal posts,’’ said John Brown, who spent 10 seasons as an offensive lineman in the NFL and wound up naming his son after Ernie. “Eighty-four thousand people were screaming and clapping their hands and stomping their feet. It felt like an earthquake. As Ernie walked through the goal posts, he had this incredible smile on his face. It was one of those smiles like Magic Johnson has. I can see it as if it happened five minutes ago.”
 
“There wasn’t a dry eye in the stadium,” Modell added.
 
Roughly eight months later, on May 18, 1963, Davis died.
