Description: "THE KANSAS COMET" Gayle Sayers was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of fame in 1977 at age 34 and remains the youngest person to have received the honor. He is one of five players in the Super Bowl era to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame without ever playing a postseason game.[2] He was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team as a halfback and kick returner, the only player to occupy two positions on the team. In 2019, he was named to the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.In Sayers' rookie NFL season, he set a league record by scoring 22 touchdowns including a record-tying six in one game and gained 2,272 all-purpose yards en route to being named the NFL's Rookie of the Year. His friendship with Bears teammate Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer in 1970, inspired Sayers to write his autobiography, I Am Third, which in turn was the basis for the 1971 made-for-TV movie Brian's Song.
