Big Daddy Lipscomb

You know about the BDFL, but do you know about the man who the legendary league is named?

Eugene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb was a giant defensive lineman during the 50's and 60's who played for the Rams, Colts and Steelers. Big Daddy was the Pro Bowl MVP in 1959 and 1962. The prototype of today's defensive tackle, Big Daddy stood 6'6'' and weighted 306 lbs. He was not overweight and possessed great strength, speed and agility putting him 50 years ahead of his time. Born in Uniontown, AL, Lipscomb never attended college. With huge arms and hands, he was discovered in the Marines at Camp Pendleton where he was lifting 40 lb. cannonballs with his fingers. Signed as a free agent by the Rams in 1953, Big Daddy had a wingspan of a pterodactyl and was a fearsome pass rusher. During the off-season, he was a pro wrestler. Fast on the field and off, Big Daddy died in1963 of an apparent heroin overdose at 31.

"Big Daddy" Lipscomb was way ahead of his time just like the BDFL
