Chuck Dressen
Chuck Dressen played quarterback for the Decatur Staleys in 2019, and then joined the NFL’s Racine Legion for two seasons. Arguably the OG Kyler Murray prototype, at 5-foot-5, Dressen didn’t necessarily have the height that would pass in today’s modern mock drafts, but his athleticism was top-trier. Baseball became his full-time sport in 1924, however, when he suited up for the Cincinnati Reds. He played into the 1930s, including a stop with the New York Giants.
Managing became his ultimate calling card, though, especially with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Some might remember him best as Jackie Robinson’s coach; others might recall the skipper being on the wrong end of Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World.”
