Re: Jimmy Orr
Oh Jimmy Orr, oh Jimmy Orr,
I wonder what you're looking for!
On the field this graduate of Georgia
Is wicked and tricky as a Borgia,
And if his arms and hands are pinned,
By naughty Bears, undisciplined,
The smart receiver from the South
Will catch the football in his mouth.
--Ogden Nash, Life Magazine December 13th, 1968
Well... they can't all be gems...

I remember (I was 9 in 1968) Orr being a good receiver on a great Colts team that came up short in SB III.
Not mentioned in the above synopsis is that he thrice led the NFL in average receiving yards (1958, '64 and '68).
