Bears RB Tarik Cohen Is The Shortest Person To Throw A TD Since 1934
*Obligatory is Cohen the best rookie QB on the Bears hack joke you’ve seen 12 times before you clicked on this*
Tarik Cohen is that running back you picked up in your fantasy league after Week 1 and haven’t heard a whole lot from since if you’re not a Bears fan. Well today he made history becoming the first player 5’6″ or under to throw a TD in the NFL since 1934. I didn’t even know they allowed passing in 1934 but I’ll trust @NFLResearch on this one.
The man who threw that pass? This guy.
New York Giants legend Wee Willie Smith! 134 lbs of Lucky Strike cigarettes and prohibition era whiskey you had to order by the amount of Xs on the bottle. Wee Willie threw this touchdown and then went down to the heavy box factory for an overnight double shift because that’s where he made his real money. He threw that touchdown so long ago you really had to call them the New York Football Giants because the baseball Giants were still in town for another 23 years. I don’t know much else about the man, I just know Wee Willie Smith would be happy to hear that his favorite smooth jazz musicians Philly Brown and Fozzy Whittaker are still kicking.
