February 23 Kenny Washington, born August 31, 1918, was an American professional football player and the first African American to sign a contract with an NFL team in the modern era. He signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 1946. During his second season, he led the league in yards per carry and scored a 92-yard touchdown, which remains the Rams team record. When he retired in 1948, 80,000 people attended his final game and the entire stadium gave him a standing ovation.
