Never forget Aaron Brown. 2 Xs All Big Ten and 2 Xs All American! Then, after being 6th overall pick in the AFL draft, he became a great pro and NFL Champion with Kansas City.

One of my uncles is a U of M School of Dentistry alum. Several times I heard him tell the story of playing a pick-up volleyball game at one of the campus gyms. Aaron Brown and some football players were there and joined in. Uncle Chuck said that Aaron was a very nice guy and "took it easy" on the soon to be dentists.
