By 1960, Hugh McElhenny was already recognized as one of the most dynamic and electrifying running backs in NFL history. After dominating the league with the San Francisco 49ers throughout the 1950s as part of the legendary "Million Dollar Backfield", McElhenny joined the Minnesota Vikings in their inaugural season. Despite nearing the latter stages of his career, McElhenny still possessed the speed, agility, and big-play ability that had made him one of the league’s most feared offensive weapons. Over his 13-year career, he amassed 11,375 all-purpose yards and 60 touchdowns, earning six Pro Bowl selections and enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1970.
