He Wore It Well:

Perry Tuttle, SB/WR, 1986-91

Perry Tuttle was a national champion with the Clemson Tigers in 1982 – his game-winning catch in the Orange Bowl landed him on the cover of Sports Illustrated – an All-American receiver and a first-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills by the time he ventured north to the Bombers in 1986.

He had 41 touchdowns in six seasons with the Bombers, with back-to-back 1,300-yard receiving campaigns in 1986 and 1987 while being a part of two Grey Cup championship teams in 1988 and 1990.

His career after football has been just as prolific. Tuttle is an author, the founder of the Perry Tuttle Company – a Sports Marketing firm – and a gifted public speaker who has worked with Fortune 500 Companies. Tuttle, who is battling macular degeneration – a medical condition which can lead to blindness – now also serves as the team chaplain of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets.

FYI: 

Steve Beaird wasn’t a Bomber long – just two seasons – but was named the team’s top rookie and most outstanding player in 1975. He came to Winnipeg rather than sign with the St. Louis Cardinals, who had drafted him after he helped lead Baylor to an improbable Southwest Conference title in 1974 – dubbed the ‘Miracle on the Brazos.’ Beaird was the first 1,000-yard rusher in Baylor history and, at just 5-7, 195 pounds was referred to as ‘Buffalo’ by his college teammates for his incredible lower-body strength that led to one sportswriter comparing his running style to a ‘Texas State Fair bumper car.’

After football Beaird became successful in the foundation drilling business.
