James Corbin Sidle (February 7, 1942 – November 14, 1999) was a professional American football Running back. He played college football at Auburn University and was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 4th round (47th overall) of the 1965 NFL Draft. ==Early years== Sidle attended Sylacauga High School, before transferring after his sophomore season to L. Frazier Banks High School, where as a quarterback he received All-State and All-American honors. He also practiced basketball and won the state championship in the hurdles. He moved on to play college football at Auburn University, where the team used a running offense. In 1963, as the starting quarterback he finished second in the nation in rushing (1,006 yards) and was named first-team All-American, after leading his team to a No. 5 ranking (9-1 record) and losing to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Although he was a quarterback, he still was featured on the cover of the September 21, 1964 edition of the Sports Illustrated magazine, under the title: "The Year of the Running Back". That year his team was one of the favorites to win the National Championship, but he tore the rotator cuff in his right shoulder in the season opener, playing against Houston University. He still kept playing that season after being switched to running back, but the team finished with a 6-4 record. In 1999, he was inducted into Auburn's ''Tiger Trail'', a walk of fame honoring former school greats. In 2002, he was inducted in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jimmy Sidle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
