Don Trull played six seasons in the American Football League after being drafted out of Baylor University by the Houston Oilers in the 1963 AFL Draft. Trull languished behind George Blanda for a few years in Houston before getting his chance at a starting role. He was traded to the Boston Patriots during the 1967 season, and finished the season as their starter. However, after suffering a shoulder injury early in 1968, Trull was released, and picked back up by the Oilers, with whom he spent the final two seasons of his career.
Don Trull was elected for the College Football Hall of Fame this year, and will be formally inducted in December. A full article on Trull and his football exploits can be found on the Baylor website HERE.
Trull became eligible because he met the near single requirement, he was named to at least one first team All America squad, the FWAA named him first team in 1963. The FWAA were the only group that did, all others voted Roger Staubach first team.
Some over the years have critized the requirement, as draconian and self defeating, for example Conrad Ritchler and end from Mizzou in 1962 is eligible, as he like Trull was named to the FWAA first team, but Joe Montana is not. that’s right unless the requirement is amended the likes of Joe Montana, who’s comeback victory in the 1978 Cotton Bowl while at Notre Dame is college football lore never will. Joe was never named first team All America, so now arguably the greatest QB in history can only gain entrace if he purchases a ticket.
Congrats to Don Trull who’s pro career was hampered by a serious shoulder injury, but toughness and desire kept him in the game.
