Mike’s was a senior my freshman year at Duke and a fraternity brother. I had the great honor (I’m sure among many others) to have had him break my arm while I was pathetically trying to tackle him. He was an excellent fullback. A gentle person until he put on a uniform then he became a beast.

I refuse to visit the HOF until they put Mike in.
I’m sixty five and Mike has been my football hero since I started following the NFL.
When they finally do him justice it is my intention to attend the induction.
Curtis and Hendricks, deadly duo. Joe Thomas TRADED Hendricks for………. well nothing.
I only saw his fullback ability one time, after he picked off that pass in SB 5, he took a couple of full back moves then hit the turf quick to get ready for the O’Brien field goal!
