Jack Jacobs
"Indian" Jack Jacobs (August 7, 1919 - January 12, 1974) was a legendary Canadian Football League quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1950-1954), winning the Jeff Nicklin Memorial (MVP) Trophy in 1952, who was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma. Though Jacobs did not invent the forward pass, he is widely recognized as one of the key figures in making the forward pass an integral part of professional football.
