Born November 1, 1947, in Cleveland, Ohio, a safety from the University of Michigan, Tom Curtis played for the Wolverines from 1967 through the 1969 season. Curtis was selected as a consensus All-American in 1969. The footballfoundation.org site also tells how Tom set records at Michigan for interceptions in a game, season with 10, adding 431 return yards to them. His career interception mark of 25 picks ranks second in Big Ten history and is tied for fourth to this day in the NCAA record books! The National Football Foundation inducted Tom Curtis into their College Football Hall of Fame in 2005. Tom Curtis moved to the pro game after college, playing for the Baltimore Colts in the 1970 and the 1971 seasons, and was a member of the Super Bowl V championship team.
