Richard "Dick" Lane is best known for being a standout defensive
back in professional football who played fourteen seasons in the
National Football League and established records that still stand
today. During his rookie season, Lane established the record for
most interceptions in a season when he picked off fourteen. The
record still stands today, despite the NFL season being several
games longer and offenses being much more pass oriented. Lane was
known for not only taking the ball away from the offense, but also
his bone-jarring hits. To best determine his stature in
professional football history, one only has to refer to what his
peers had to say about him: ." . . Richard 'Night Train" Lane. I
played with him and against him. He was the best I've ever seen."
Pat Summerall - Sports Commentator & NFL Player "Train was the
greatest defensive back that ever played the game. Period." - Red
Hickey - Head Coach of the Baltimore Colts from 1959 to 1968.
