Fellow SWATA members we have the opportunity to help do something historic. Otho Davis was the longtime athletic trainer for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was born, grew up, and was educated in Texas as he attended high school in Beaumont and college at Lamar University. The public is being given the opportunity to vote on those individuals who are on the ballot. The final selection will be made by the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee, but they will take into account the voting. Currently Otho is in the top ten. Every vote counts and you can vote once a day. The old phrase vote early and vote often definitely comes into play here.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Otho I'll briefly summarize his amazing career. After getting his masters degree at Kent State he became their head athletic trainer. He later went to work for Duke University in the same position. After six years at Duke he joined the athletic training staff for the Baltimore Colts. After two years with the Colts he went to work for the Philadelphia Eagles where he stayed for 22 years until his retirement.
Otho is also a member of several other Halls of Fame including but not limited to the NATA and SWATA. He was the executive director of the NATA and the national office in Dallas has been renamed in his honor.
Once again let me urge you to vote often for Otho. http://www.fanschoice.com/
