Red Grange video footage

Has anyone else paid attention to the NFL100 video montage of running backs that's been showing every now and then during games this season? There's Jim Brown, Barry Sanders and others... and grainy black and white of a #77... which would obviously have to be Grange. What's interesting is it is a relatively close up "modern looking" shot. (from the side while he's running) I would think that the only film footage of him (if any) would have to be more of an aerial view? So, does anyone know if that's really Red Grange? Or a trick of modern technology such as still photos spliced together? Or even something more simple as recreating it with a modern actor?

It's Grange. Footage from a Bears practice which was used either in a movie or newsreel ...

If the NFL thought there is a buck to be made, they would (and still could) do it.
Look no further than the new James Dean movie.
