The NFL and Track and Field have a long history together. The recently discussed Renaldo Nehemiah certainly comes to mind. But did you know that two PSU Track Stars are at the top of all-time individual event performances among Trackand Field/NFL athletes?
First on the list is Brian Milne, who is the No. 2 all-time performers in the discus. His toss of 207 feet 5 inches was second only to Christian Okoye's 212 feet 4 inches.
But First on the list of 400 meter hurdlers is my teammate Paul Lankford, who enjoyed a 12 year NFL career in Miami. With a minimal amount of football experience, Paul became one of Miami's best secondary players for many of their stellar seasons. Paul was also the high school national record holder in the 400 hurdles prior to arriving in Happy Valley. His all-time best of 49.55 is the best all-time among NFL stars.
