From the Texas College Football Legends series comes Sam Baugh Best There Ever Was, written by Whit Canning and Dan Jenkins. Slingin' Sam Baugh was the first of the great glamour players to give tremendous inspiration to the modern game. During his clays at Texas Christian University, Baugh threw 587 passes in this three varsity seasons for 39 touchdowns and nearly two miles in yardage. In an era when 10 passes in a game was considered extravagant, Baugh threw as many as 40 passes in some games. Baugh gained All-American status in 1935 and repeated as a consensus All-American in his 1936 senior season. He went on to quarterback the Washington Redskins, where he led the league six times in passing and still holds many of its records today. "Slingin' Sam Baugh was the greatest passer and punter that football has ever known ... His name appears on more all-time teams than Jim Thorpe, George Gipp and Red Grange combined." -- Dan Jenkins
