Tim Fox earned four letters at Ohio State and was named All-American as a senior in 1975, helping the Buckeyes go 40-5-1 and play in four consecutive Rose Bowl games. He was co-captain of the Buckeyes with the college’s only two-time Heisman winner – Archie Griffin.

Fox would later be drafted in the first round by the New England Patriots in 1976, making the All-Rookie team that fall and the Pro Bowl in 1980.

He played in 91 consecutive games over six seasons for New England, then played six more years for the San Diego Chargers and Los Angeles Rams.
