3 years with 10 or more interceptions?

Post by Bob Gill »

If this isn't right, I'm sure somebody here will let me know, but I believe there's only one player in NFL history who reached double figures in interceptions in three separate seasons -- one defensive player, that is.

Rather than just give his name, I thought I'd present it as a question: Who was this forgotten defensive back?

Two hints: 1. It wasn't Paul Krause or Emlen Tunnell. 2. This guy played only six seasons, so he hit double figures in half of them.

Don Doll, I think he did it with 3 different teams too if I recall correctly. Strangely he got very little recognition for it as well, INTs weren't valued then as now, heck Night Train didn't get any accolades in his rookie season - of course his INTs were very back end loaded with 3 in the final game.

Yes, Don Doll's the one. Along with his anonymity, another funny thing about him is that he totaled 33 interceptions in his three double-digit seasons, and got 5 more in his final season, but in his third and fourth years in the league he picked off a total of three passes, even though he apparently started every game each year.

Interesting guy, anyway.

Don Doll and Jim David have been on my ballot for HOVG the last three years. Doll even longer.
