Elmer Angsman
Former NFL Player
  • General Info
General Information
Description
Elmer Angsman was an American football running back in the NFL. He was born on the south side of Chicago in 1925, the son of Elmer and Helen Angsman. Elmer attended Mount Carmel High School and also starred for Notre Dame in college from 1943 to 1945, played 7 seasons in the NFL, all with the Chicago Cardinals. After graduating from Notre Dame in three years with a degree in journalism Angsman was the youngest player ever drafted to play in the NFL at the age of 20 with the 16th overall pick of the 1946 draft. Angsman was part of Charles Bidwill?s "Dream Backfield". Although Bidwill did not live to see it the talented corps that included Charley Trippi, Paul Christman, Pat Harder, and Angsman would go on to achieve great success. In the 1947 NFL championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Angsman scored twice on runs of 70 yards each. The final touchdown, a run up the middle like the first against Eagle coach Greasy Neale's famed 5-2-4 defense, put the game out of reach. Angsman finished the game with 10 carries for 159 yards. His 15.9 yard per carry average is still an NFL post-season record. The 1947 title was the Cardinal franchise's last championship. [More at Wikipedia]
