Byron “Whizzer” White played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1938, took a year off to study as Rhodes Scholar and played for the Detroit Lions in 1940 and 1941. WWII saw him serving in the Navy and after the war he went to Yale Law School instead of returning to the gridiron. He was a three time NFL All Pro selection and made the 1940’s All Decade Team and a 1954 selection for the College Football Hall of Fame. In 1962 JFK nominated him to serve on the Supreme Court. He was not a member of the NFL Hall of Fame.
