12/2/56 Frank Gifford. Frank had been with the Giants for four years but the panel doesn’t blindfold themselves and he makes no effort to disguise his voice. The only attempt to fool the panel is by having him sign in as “F. Newton Gifford”. But he would soon be famous. That day he’d run for two scores, passed for another and caught a pass for a fourth TD in a 28-14 win over the Redskins. Four weeks later the Giants blasted the Bears 47-7 for the NFL title.
Watch the females on the panel swoon over him!
Frank led the NFL in yards gained from scrimmage that year:
