SZG Sports History of the Day

On this day in sports history, O.J. Simpson became the first Heisman Trophy winner to be elected to pro football’s Hall of Fame in Canton, OH.
As much as he accomplished in college and professionally on the gridiron, it's a shame that O.J. joins a myriad of players whose sports career achievements are buried due to their off-the-field actions.
Before Tennessee Titans running back, Chris Johnson, joined the eminent club of 2,000 yards it was Simpson who became first player ever to pass the 2,000-yard mark.
