Green Bay Packers Paul Hornung Autographed 8x10 W/ COAHornung's importance.Looking only at the numbers, Kacsmar is right. Most of Hornung's stats aside from scoring won't impress anybody. He doubled as a placekicker for much of his career, led the league in scoring three times and until 2006 had the NFL record for most points in a season with 176, which he accomplished in 1960, when the league had only a 12-game season. That really was an impressive record.But Hornung's career high for rushing in a season was only 681 yards, and he never ranked higher than No. 7 in the NFL in rushing in a season. His numbers aren't even close to those of Jim Taylor, his Hall of Fame teammate who topped the 1,000-yard mark five straight years (1960-64). And Hornung never even reached 1,000 yards rushing and receiving combined in a season.Yet, Hornung was the most important player on Lombardi's teams that from 1960-65 won three championships and went to another title game. Not Bart Starr or Taylor or Willie Davis or Ray Nitschke any of the other Hall of Famers (11 total, including Hornung) from the Lombardi era.
