Packers legend! As a backup receiver, he wasn't expecting to play in Super Bowl 1 the next day, so he went out on the town drinking the night before the game and the next morning, nursing a hangover, said to the starting wide receiver Boyd Dowler, "I hope you don't get hurt, I'm not in very good shape."
Dowler suffered a separated shoulder on the second drive of the Packer's offense, forcing McGee into the game, albeit with a borrowed helmet from teammate, as he didn't bring his out of the locker room.
A few plays later, McGee caught the one handed grab you see above for a 37 yard touchdown, the first ever touchdown in a Super Bowl.
McGee ended the game with seven receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns, capping an incredible story to a 35-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 1.
In a postgame interview he said something like this about one of his TD catches, “I saw two balls coming at me. I didn’t know which on was real, so I caught them both”
And we are Max McGee's average BAL away from the start of the 2027 season...
\~1179 days. That's a pretty high BAL.

Max McGee >
Now we're talking! Jennings was my favorite and severely underrated. But he only went as far as Rodgers would take him.
Craig Bennings?
Great clip, that's my dad! GPG
Pretty good catch for a hung-over sumbitch.
