Overall, Podolak was a pretty pedetrian player.
Vertitile, but nothing special.
He only had 40 TDs in his career.
Never ran for more than 750 yards in a season, and his highest total yards from scrimmage in a season was 1166.
Podolak was a grunt.
The type of guy that gives you everything he has, and I have a great deal of respect for that, but he was just an average player.

Hmm. . .the numbers don't stand out too much. Probably my childhood brain that recalls things being greater than they actually were . . .along the line of the size of my elementary school being really big, when seen again as an adult, was actually small.
