Eagles Sign Frank Budd To NFL Contract
The Philadelphia Eagles signed Frank Budd a 1962 NFL contract. Budd aged 22 from Asbury Park New Jersey is the world record holder in the 100 yard dash with 9.2 seconds and co holder of the 220 yard dash world record at 20 seconds. He never played college football but was an all state high school tailback. Budd was the Eagles No 7 draft pick. He strained a leg muscle in the AAU Championships at Walnut California last Friday and could not finish the 100 yard dash. This prevented him from U.S meets against Poland and Russia scheduled soon.
