Rocket Ismail
He was one of the greatest kick returners in college football history while playing for Notre Dame
After his standout college career, Ismail made a unique move by signing with the Canadian Football League (CFL) instead of immediately joining the NFL. He played for the Toronto Argonauts from 1991 to 1992, where he quickly became one of the league's top stars. In 1991, Ismail was named a CFL All-Star and earned the Most Valuable Player award in the 79th Grey Cup, helping the Argonauts secure a championship. His success in the CFL further solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting players in professional football.
In 1993, Ismail transitioned to the NFL, where he played for several teams, including the Los Angeles Raiders, Carolina Panthers, and Dallas Cowboys. Over the course of his NFL career, he recorded two 1,000-yard receiving seasons and continued to showcase his speed and playmaking ability. Although injuries limited his time on the field, Ismail remained a valuable asset to his teams and was known for his ability to change the course of a game with a single play. His contributions to both the CFL and NFL have left a lasting legacy in professional football.
Ismail's achievements have earned him recognition beyond his playing days. In 2004, College Football News ranked him as the No. 75 player on its list of the Top 100 Greatest College Football Players of All-Time. Additionally, Sports Illustrated selected him to its all-20th Century college football team, further cementing his place among the sport's elite. His combination of speed, agility, and football intelligence made him one of the most exciting players to watch, and his legacy continues to inspire future generations of athletes.
