An NFL player no one could identifySourced
He borrowed a college star's identity.
After one NFL game, he vanished.
In 1923, a man claiming to be a celebrated Princeton player joined a St. Louis team and was later sold to Green Bay. St. Louis knew the claim was false and later called it a joke. The impostor played one game for Green Bay, disappeared, and has never been identified.
One game survives in the records.
His real name does not.
