Dick Kazmaier (born November 23, 1930) played tailback for Princeton University from 1949 through 1951, winning the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award at the end of his senior year. His skills in running, kicking, and passing made him a triple threat, and in his career at Princeton he had more than 4,000 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 35 touchdown passes. The Chicago Bears selected him in the 1952 NFL Draft, but he elected not to play professional football. Instead, he attended Harvard Business School. He made the cover of Time magazine, and in his interview he stated, "I knew I could earn more money in business than I could in professional football... I had achieved everything I could achieve as an individual and as part of a team. What more could I want?" After spending three years in the Navy, he founded Kazmaier Associates, Inc., an investment firm.
