  • Tom Keating


    • Here's Tom Keating, who played his college ball at the University of Michigan, and who was drafted in the fifth round of the 1964 American Football League draft by the Buffalo Bills.

    He was doing very well, but halfway through his rookie season, Tom broke his ankle. Instead of "doing nothing" which was the usual solution to such a situation, Tom kept right on training and got a head start for the next season. In Buffalo, Tom trained at the York Athletic Club under the supervision of Ken Stoller.

    ...This paid off. Tom went on to play seven more seasons, earning All-Pro status in 1966 and 1967, and getting a Championship ring as a member of the AFL Oakland Raiders.
