The unique skillset and incredible success of Benny Friedman as the first passing superstar of the NFL helped keep the league afloat as the Depression hit and may have changed the league as much as any other player. So, why is he forgotten? Our Benny Friedman profile brings to life this special player, from his early days in Cleveland to his stunning emergence with the Maize and Blue at Michigan and then continued success as a professional. Friedman made passing popular and the league rewrote the rules book to encourage it for every team. Friedman's incredible story was forgotten at the end of his life 40 years ago, which greatly troubled the former football great.
