Honduras NFL Football Hall of Fame Player Steve Van Buren

The legend of Steve Van Buren – whose slashing running style revolutionized pro football in the 1940s and who quit after eight explosive seasons and two NFL championships as the league’s then-all-time rusher – continues to intrigue Eagles fans, even with the game morphing into a multibillion-dollar entertainment empire that will be capped with next Sunday’s Super Bowl spectacle that would be unrecognizable to the sport’s “Greatest Generation.” Steve Van Buren passed away Thursday August 23rd 2012.

It took 66 years for an Eagle – LeSean McCoy – to finally surpass Van Buren’s 1945 feat of 18 touchdowns, and it required a 16-game schedule. Van Buren did it in only 10 games. em>Read more about Steve Van Buren and his life on Utila Honduras : the Greatest Eagle.
