Wisconsin Football: Rams to L.A. Recalls NFL Career of Elroy Hirsch

News recently broke that the St. Louis Rams will be moving from St. Louis, their home since 1995, back to Los Angeles, where the franchise was based from 1946 to 1994. The news that the Rams will be in L.A. brings to mind the NFL career of former Wisconsin football player Elroy Hirsch, who became a star at both the collegiate and professional level.

Elroy Hirsch, or “Crazylegs,” as he would come to be known, played just one season for the Wisconsin Badgers in 1942, but in that one season, Crazylegs became a star.
