Did you know (I didn’t) that Nebraska once had the world’s fastest man on their track team?
As a former track athlete, I may find this more fascinating than you, but I think this is even more fun than researching a #1 football draft pick. He apparently was quite a character. In the article below, they mention that he always wore sunglasses, but refused to call them sunglasses. He said they were his “re-entry shields”. When you are the fastest man in the world, you can say things like that.
