Along with Bob Hayes what other athlete has achieved the same combined award status that no other track/football athlete has. Who is he and what are the achievements?


Hint Michael Carter did not achieve.

Mel Renfro. T&F World Record, Super Bowl Ring and NFL Hall Of Fame?

[tracknut]

Two of the the three yes, and who is that other person? Bonus (where did they make there accomplishments)

[cullman]

OJ Simpson had a World Record in the 4X100 at USC and is also in the NFL Hall Of Fame. Mel Renfro and future Dallas Cowboy teammate, Mike Gaechter were part of the University of Oregon relay team that set the WR in the 4X110 yard relay.

I'm sure Cullman's post is the right answer, but it could have been - Olympic Gold, World record holder, and all-pro - which applies to Ron Brown, who won Gold in the 400r with a WR 37.83 in '84, and the following year was an all-pro for the Rams, as a kick returner

[tracknut]

Cullman's almost there. Going back to the Topic heading "Super bowl" Those other athletes did get world records and acheive Hall of fame status, (answers for another title question) but not Super bowl. Who else besides Bob Hayes achieved this difficult status? And what were the titles?

Gault, Neimiah.....

[richxx87]

Nehemiah was a world record holder and Super Bowl champion for the 49ers.

As mentioned above, Gault was a gold medalist (relay) and Super Bowl champion with the Bears.

Sam Graddy also was a gold medalist and played on Denver's Super Bowl losing team.
