Known as the "Big Train" because of his power on both sides of the ball, John Sisk earned All-America distinction as a halfback for three consecutive years from 1929-1931, captaining the 8-1 1931 team.
A multi-sport star, Sisk was also a track standout and made his mark in the quarter mile. He was a member of the medley relay team which set a world record in 1931. During his track career, he was the joint holder of the world record in the 40- and 50-yard dashes.
Following his college days, he played for Coach George Halas and the Chicago Bears for five seasons and was a member of two world championship teams led by NFL legend Red Grange. He was selected as an all-pro in 1936 and was inducted into the Chicago Bears Hall of Fame in 1957.
His son, John Jr., was also running back for the Bears from 1964-1966, making them the first father-son combination to play pro football for the same team and the only duo to play for the same coach.
