Lane, Dick
▪ 2003
“Night Train” 
      American professional football player (b. April 16, 1928, Austin, Texas—d. Jan. 29, 2002, Austin), was one of the leading defensive backs of the National Football League (NFL) in the 1950s and '60s. As a rookie for the Los Angeles Rams in 1952, he made 14 interceptions—a single-season record that still stood at the time of his death. In 14 seasons in the NFL, Lane played for the Rams, the Chicago Cardinals, and the Detroit Lions and was a six-time Pro Bowl choice. He was married to renowned rhythm-and-blues singer Dinah Washington, who died in 1963. After retiring as a player in 1966, Lane coached at Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio, and Southern University, Baton Rouge, La. He was unanimously elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974 and was chosen as one of four cornerbacks on the NFL's 75th anniversary team.
