Lance Alworth, nicknamed Bambi, is an American former professional football wide receiver who played eleven seasons, from 1962 through 1972, for the San Diego Chargers of the American Football League and National Football League and then the Dallas Cowboys. Born on August 3, 1940, in Houston, Texas, and raised in Mississippi, he turned down professional baseball offers to play college football. Teammates gave him the nickname because he had a baby face and ran like a deer. He is often considered one of the greatest wide receivers of all time and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1978, the first inductee whose career was principally in the AFL. He is also in the College Football Hall of Fame.
