Who was the first NFL player to wear an attached face mask to his helmet?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Otto Graham was the first NFL player to use a purpose-built facemask, in 1953.

However, improvised masks had been used earlier. I just wish I could find a direct link to the barbed-wire facemask pictured here:
