Who is John David Crow?
John David Crow is a former American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He won the Heisman Trophy as a halfback at Texas A&M University in 1957. He was not one of the "Junction Boys," since he was a freshman in the 1954 season and thus ineligible to play under NCAA rules at the time, but played for Bear Bryant at Texas A&M and later played professional football for the Chicago / St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers between 1958 and 1968. Crow received the annual "Len Eshmont Award" on two occasions, 1966 and 1967. This award is voted by the players and given to the 49er who best exemplifies the "inspirational and courageous play" of Len Eshmont. A street on the campus of Texas A&M University adjacent to Kyle Field is named after him.
