Manage episode 320412250 series 1324102
DISCLAIMER: Due to technical difficulties, the beginning part of this episode was half way through a conversation that involved racism and segregation. I asked questions later on, that got those stories back so you could hear them.
John B. Wooten is a former American football guard who played nine professional seasons in the National Football League for the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins. Wooten played college football at the University of Colorado and was drafted in the fifth round of the 1959 NFL Draft. During that time, he blocked for Hall of Fame running back, Jim Brown, widely regarded as one of the top running backs in NFL history. Brown led the league in rushing for six of the seven seasons Wooten served as one of his blockers, and was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1965 with 1,544 yards and a league-best 21 touchdowns.
