Actually ran into him once when he was coming out of a hospital in Southlake, he was a big guy, much taller than I thought from seeing him on TV.

Summerall stood 6'4". I ran into the Ticket's Norm Hitzges recently and he's also taller than expected, around 6'2". Speaking of that, here's Norm and Pat from the December 2010 Normathon.

Summerall was a longtime NFL defensive lineman who also was a placekicker....back in his era it was common for a regular every down player to kick ( Lou “The Toe” Groza was a DL/PK for the Browns)

He had that awesome baritone voice that you find in Florida natives before the Northern Invasion (Like Buddy Ebsen, Pat Boone)...Summer all originally from Lake City
