Johnny Rodgers was born July 5, 1951 in Omaha, Nebraska and was a college football superstar voted the University of Nebraska's "Player of the Century" and the winner of the 1972 Heisman Trophy.

Although a 1973 first-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers, Rodgers signed a lucrative contract to play for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League where he was affectionately known as the "ordinary superstar" (a nickname he coined.)

In his four years with the Alouettes, Rodgers won the Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy twice (Eastern division MVP and CFL runner-up) and "All-Canadian" all star honors and helped lead his team to a Grey Cup championship in 1974.
