Safety
No. 21
Arnold
"Johnny Unitas isn't the only pro football player with a sandlot-to-big league story to tell his grandchildren. Webb was plucked off the semi-pro ranks of Connecticut on the advice of Andy Robustelli. Inked as a free agent in 1961, Allan wasn't placed on the active list until a series of injuries hit the club's secondary ranks. During 1962, Allan won himself a regular spot at right safety and remained there until beaten out by Dick Pesonen last season. But he's out to win back his job in '64.
Webb's school, Arnold, is now defunct, but Allan won letters in track and baseball, as well as on the gridiron there."
