Hale Irwin

Though he is best known for his dominance on the PGA Tour, Irwin first was an All-Big Eight Conference defensive back at CU. So talented was he at football, CU named him to it's All-Century Team. Away from the gridiron, Hale shone on the golf course.


Amazing you knew that. I'll have to do a Manteris and ban you from further trivia questions.

I also knew it was Hale Irwin…one of my favorite golfers…I also think that the Eagles will take DeJohn in the first round…

Does the NFL believe in diversity, equity and inclusion when it comes to defensive secondaries?

I didn't think so.
