Pat Fischer was well known for his strong tackling skills despite his diminutive size. Some of Fischer's most memorable defensive match-ups occurred against Philadelphia Eagles receiver Harold Carmichael who stood eleven inches taller than Fischer. Fischer's mantra "get a leg up and you own him" is used today to motivate and teach smaller defensive backs who to defend taller wide receivers.

He was 5'9, 170....
Wow. 5'9? 11" shorter. Did he play for the Cardinals (St.Louis)?

Bednarik woulda been cool too.
