What Neumann Says

“Before Greg the Leg, there was Lou ‘The Toe’ Groza, a standout lineman for the Cleveland Browns who also served as the team’s placekicker. Groza earned nine Pro Bowl invitations and four first-team All-Pro selections for his work on the offensive line, but it was his kicking that summoned a nickname. Groza played 21 seasons for the Browns, the last seven exclusively as a kicker. He scored 1,608 career points and booted the winning field goal in the final seconds of the 1950 NFL Championship Game.”
