Sterling Manley: Legacy Everlasting

Posted Feb 24, 2020
Sterling Manley: "My great-great-uncle was a man of small stature but great power. Power so great that he was said to be able to throw a football 80 yards. And on October 18, 1953, when he replaced George Blanda, starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears, he became the first African-American quarterback in NFL history. Uncle Willie man of many firsts."
