John Ayers
April 14, 1953 - October 2, 1995
Excerpt from "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" by Michael Lewis
He was a reminder that what sets football apart from other sports is that what you don’t see is often the most important thing. What John Ayers was doing seemed routine. But to the few who knew, and watched, it was a thing of beauty.
From Bobb McKittrick
“More important than that was the kind of person he was. He was unselfish, a consummate team player . . . He was liked as much by the squad as anyone we’ve ever had.”
