Dick LeBeau returned to Columbus Thursday night to speak at Ohio State, and he shared an incredible story from his time as a Buckeye.
LeBeau, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was speaking at Ohio State’s coaching clinic when he revealed he left three teeth on the field inside Ohio Stadium. He also claimed he would give up the rest of his teeth to get one more play inside the Horseshoe.
Dick LeBeau, who played for OSU before a 59-year career as a player and coach in NFL, at Ohio State’s coaches clinic: “I always had scarlet and gray in my blood.”
“I left three of my teeth out there in Ohio Stadium. I’d leave the rest of them to get out there for one more play.”
