Remembering Cappy

Since they presented the Heisman Trophy tonight it seems like a pretty good time to remember the only Penn State recipient. The 1973 Heisman Trophy winner Penn State Tailback John Cappelletti.

Joe Patreno once said "Cappy is the best player I have ever been around. He is strong, fast, durable and a great leader. You know he is going to come through for you when you need him."
We should all be so lucky to have a living legend pay us such a compliment.

For as much as Cappelletti is remembered as a legend of Penn State football for leading the Nittany Lions to an undefeated season in 1973 while accumulating 1,522 yards and 17 touchdowns. He will forever be immortalized for his touching Heisman Acceptance speech, dedicating the award to his kid brother Joey who was struggling with leukemia.

More than just a First-Class Athlete; a First-Class person.
But then again would you expect anything less form the school the gave us Success with Honor?
