Yes the early seventies and the reports were that marvin was very serious about wanting to play pro ball, the lions weren't havin it if he had played somebody would've laid him out and berry would still be getting a check from the nfl.

Everybody and their mamas knew Marvin had his fantasies. That story has been told many
times before....
