Glenn "Jeep" Davis was a track star at Ohio State University in the 400-meter hurdles, and a three-time Olympic gold medalist in in the 1956 and 1960 games. He died on January 28, 2009, after a long illness.Los Angeles Times: Glenn 'Jeep' Davis (January 31, 2009)
Quote
"While he didn’t turn into an early day Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson as a pro football player, the fact that the Lions would sign him says something about how Davis was seen in the sports world at the time. He turned down a $125,000 offer to appear in a cigarette ad because he believing it would send the wrong message to kids. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated that June. The Lions put in what they called the Zephyr Offense, similar to shotgun with five receivers and no backs, to take advantage of Jeep’s speed."—columnist Bob HunterColumbus Dispatch: Former OSU star Davis deserves to be remembered (January 31, 2009)-
