I attended Roy High School in Roy, New Mexico during my freshman year, then moved to Albuquerque where I graduated from Highland High School.  I excelled as a running back at the University of Oklahoma, where I was coached by the renowned Bud Wilkinson and never played in a losing game.   I received the Maxwell Award in 1956 and was an All-American in 1955 and 1956. 

I was picked up by the Cleveland Browns, making 7 receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown in the 1968 season.  My last NFL game was the 1968 NFL Championship Game against the Baltimore Colts.  On March 15, 1969, I announced my retirement from pro football.  I played in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons, and Cleveland Browns. 

I was selected for six Pro Bowls, led the league in touchdown receptions twice (1958, 1960), and led the league in receiving yards once (1960).  I was also the last non-kicker to play in the NFL without a facemask.  I finished my career with 495 receptions for 8,410 yards and 84 touchdowns, the second highest total of touchdown receptions in NFL history at the time.  During my career I rushed for 22 yards and gained 1,459 yards and a touchdown returning punts and kickoffs on special teams, giving me 9,891 career all-purpose yards.  

I was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
