Halfback Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago.

Berwanger was the first ever Heisman Trophy winner (1935) and the first player ever selected in an NFL draft (1936). His rights were traded to the Chicago Bears but he and George Halas could not come to an agreement on a contract and Berwanger never played a down in the NFL.
