Montgomery and Gutkowsky share number 5, which is cool. Looking him up, I learned that Gutkowsky was the NFL’s rushing leader as a fullback in the 1930s, beating out hall of famers like Clark and Bronko Nagurski. This concludes your history lesson for today.

Dutch Clark and Ace Gutkowsky
Are those the most 1950s sounding football names or what?
Love me some Dutch Clark. Finally managed to get an autographed 8x10 Dutch Clark photo to add to my collection earlier this year. That one was a real pain in the ass to find.
