I knew your name as a Vikings legend growing up even though you played just a little brfore I followed football. However, I didn't realize you were the inventor of the nerf football. I grew up playing nerf football and for that invention I am forever grateful for your contributions.

i didn't know that. Seem to remember a really bad airbrushed card of him around 73 or so. I think it was an All-Pro card also.

I didn't know who he was, but I read his bio on Wikipedia today. They called him the "foot". He must have been a great kicker, and inventor, he is a bit before my football time. RIP Fred Cox.

I remember Fred from the Vikings teams of the '70s that used to torment my Rams. Didn't realize he was from the same town as my grandmother, Monongahela, PA. Also didn't know he invented the Nerf football! I played the hell out of my Nerf football as a kid. RIP Fed Cox.
