Where is Willie?! John Kryk on the Legacy of Willie Heston

Super pissed. ESPN’s CFB150 list of the greatest players snubbed an entire era of Michigan football. The period from 1901-1933 netted eight national championships and many of the finest ballers in football history.

OK, it was a long time ago. But how could they ignore Willie Heston?

To start the healing process I spoke to John Kryk (NFL beat writer, historian, author of Natural Enemies and Stagg vs. Yost) about the career and legacy of the great Heston. He also shares his thoughts and memories of the Bo’s phenomenal WR Anthony Carter.
