About
After a legendary career in professional football, Steve Largent entered public service, and was elected to four terms in the United States Congress. A star athlete in high school, he graduated from the University of Tulsa, where he led the nation in touchdown catches. Often called the greatest receiver in the history of professional football, he shattered every major NFL receiving record, including most catches (819), yards (13,089), touchdowns (100), consecutive games with a reception (177), 50-catch seasons, and 1,000-yard seasons. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to innumerable charitable causes, especially the fight against spina bifida, a crippling birth defect with which his own youngest son was afflicted. The NFL honored him with its Man of the Year Award as the league's outstanding citizen-athlete. In 1995, he was inducted into the pro Football Hall of Fame.
