Ernie Davis attended Syracuse University, where he played College Football and gained national recognition as a standout running back. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1961, becoming the first African American to receive the prestigious award. His impressive college career helped pave the way for his selection as the first overall pick in the 1962 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, although he never played in the NFL due to health issues.
