He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996. Winslow also enjoyed a stellar career with Fouts. He grabbed 541 balls for 6,741 yards and 45 touchdowns. He also took up residence in the Hall of Fame after being inducted in 1995. However, the modest quarterback refuses to accept all the credit.
Football is a team game.
The satisfaction comes in winning and that's not an individual thing. While Fouts was never keen to talk about his own skills and accomplishments, there were plenty of others willing to sing his praises. He had no fear about being hit and he was the best leader I've seen. I went into raptures of joy watching him throw the football. Dan Fouts was summed up best by Tom Bass, an assistant coach with the Chargers during the Fouts-Coryell era.
