A similar story happened in NASCAR during the 1980's. A guy going under the alias of L. W. Wright lied about having a bunch of grand national starts and sponsorship from several country stars to get equipment from Sterling Marlin. He was able to actually start in the Southern 500 before retiring due to "mechanical issues" and then running away with the money. He would virtually go missing until he did an interview in 2021

*Talladega 500, but everything else looks right. It’s a really interesting read, and pretty much mandated that NASCAR implemented a license system. Which, fun fact, you can acquire a NASCAR license without having a drivers license.

Another option worth considering: He indeed was Dolly Gray and wanted to try out for a football team. Then someone on all-starts heard his last name and confused him with Howdy Gray, and Dolly was too shy to correct them xD

i love this alternate train of thought, and with how little we know, this is probably just as likely to be true as the story i told!

Bob Carroll was a legend of unearthing great pro football stories. He lived in the town I was from, and my mum worked for the printing company that printed the PFRA's newsletter that Carroll published, "The Coffin Corner". I would always grab a copy whenever I stopped in after school and saw it being printed. (We weren't a big town.) Great video.

I don't think the guy had a Princeton/Howdy Gray connection. Being a surgeon would have paid way more than being in the NFL at the time. (I did a quick search just to get a rough idea I wasn't getting confused, so don't consider me an expert but the championship winning TEAM had a $1,200 salary cap per a game, which a team at the backend of the league probably wouldn't even get close to, and then apparently the average medical profesional earned $5,000 a year)

17:43 Additionally, a lot of identity verification back then relied on looking and acting the part. He needed to be able to talk, hold a conversation, and dress like someone who graduated from Princeton. There's another comment saying that he didn't need to know Howard Grey because surgeon paid better than NFL player back then, but he'd need the right class signifiers and be able to not raise alarm bells with other Princeton alum

the first 3 minutes of this video are really redundant. you set up a bar scenario to rug pull that it was a hypothetical. then you set up a scenario where a man gets a job on an nfl team only to rug pull that as well. the first 15% of the video is spent setting up scenarios where the viewer is then immediately told the scenario did not really matter. spending a minute setting up one scenario can be good storytelling but what youve done is redundant and pointless
