He later was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams. Courtesy of Sports Information Cromwell set many school records Continued from page 1B He set Kansas records in the 400- and 600-yard runs, the intermediate hurdles and the decathlon. "That decathlon record — he set that with just a day or two of practice," Timmons said. When Cromwell set that record, Timmons had visions of his star making a push for the Olympics. But when Cromwell was switched to quarterback on the football team, time finally ran out. "When you're the quarterback, there's a lot that comes with that," Timmons said. "We knew when he was switched that he wouldn't have time to concentrate on 10 events." Timmons and Cromwell's track teammates were disappointed but understanding. "We certainly would have liked to have the opportunity to push him in the decathlon," Timmons said. "But he did a wonderful job as quarterback. It would have been selfish of us to take the attitude of being upset or disturbed." Cromwell justified his move to quarterback. Despite taking snaps in just 18 games, he ranks ninth in school history for rushing as a quarterback. His 1,124 yards rushing in 1975 was the third-highest total in NCAA history at the time. His 294 yards rushing against Oregon State in 1975 set an NCAA record that stood for 15 years. "He could do the things that you just can't coach." Fambrough said. "He was ideal in that option offense because of his running ability. He couldn't throw that well, but when you run like he did, that doesn't matter much." Perhaps Cromwell's most memorable moment came in a 1975 football game when he led the Jayhawks to a 23-3 upset against No. 2 Oklahoma. It was Oklahoma's only defeat in its national championship season and ended the Sooners' 28-game winning streak and 37-game unbeaten streak. What's more, Cromwell didn't throw a pass that game. "At the time, it was the greatest win I've been associated with." Cromwell said in 1992. He has since earned a Super Bowl ring in 1996 as a coach for the Green Bay Packers. It was a great game by the defense the second half," he said. With his dominance in football and track, Cromwell was an easy choice as the 1976-77 Big Eight Athlete of the Year. "He was just so likable," Timmons said. "He had lots of confidence but not a big ego. Guys liked to have him on the team and were terribly proud of how good he was at football." Fambrough said: "He had great character. He was a leader, had all the qualities you're always looking for and can't quite find in a young man. You can find some of them in a lot of different people, but not all in one like Nolan had. He's the kind of player coaches dream about." Cromwell was picked in the second round — 31st overall — of the 1977 draft by the Los Angeles Rams as a defensive back. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times, was the NFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1980 and the Defensive Back of the Year in 1984 (Football Digest). He is the Rams' all-time leader in interception return yardage with 671 yards on 37 interceptions. After seven years coaching with the Green Bay Packers, Cromwell went with Coach Mike Holmgren to Seattle, where he is a wide receivers coach. — Edited by Julia Nicholson *Based on survey responses from 1,621 KU students.
