Kellen Winslow was once said to have defied the "All Pro" classification.

He was "All Universe."

The Chargers traded up in the 1979 draft to take Kellen with their first round pick. Don Coryell coveted the big tight end out of Missouri, considering Winslow the final weapon needed to gain aerial supremacy over the entire NFL.

But early returns did not produce the results many had anticipated. Kellen missed 2 1/2 weeks of his first training camp with a hamstring injury, then broke his leg in a Week 7 contest. After a mortal 25 catches and 2 touchdowns, Winslow was out for the season.

Kellen came to camp in 1980 with something to prove, and by the end of the year he had convinced teammates, opponents, and journalists alike that he was clearly the best tight end in the game.

He led the NFL with 89 receptions, 30 more than the next closest tight end. Too fast for NFL linebackers, he frequently found himself checked by defensive backs, whose tackles he broke with relative ease.

He made catches both spectacular and important, and he saved his finest performance of the season (10 catches, 171 yards) for the must-win season finale vs. Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

He snared 88 passes for an encore the following season, again leading the NFL. Once more, he left an impressive trail of highlights in his wake. In a must-win Week 12 game vs. arch-rival Oakland, Winslow hauled in 13 passes, five of which were touchdowns. In a Week 14 contest against Buffalo, he turned a 5-yard out pattern from Dan Fouts into a 67-yard sideline scamper for a touchdown.

But the real highlight of the '81 season for Winslow was "The Game." The Chargers' 41-38 overtime win against Miami was arguably the greatest, most dramatic football game of all time. It was clearly the defining moment of Kellen Winslow's carrer. He caught 13 passes for 166 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown to give San Diego a 31-24 lead. He blocked Uwe Von Schamann's game-winning field goal attempt at the end of regulation time. He did all this while battling through leg cramps, back spasms, and dehydration.
