Larry Eisenhauer

American football player (1940–2020)

Lawrence Conway Eisenhauer (February 22, 1940 – January 29, 2020) was an American professional football player who was a defensive end for the Boston Patriots of the American Football League (AFL). A graduate of Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York, he was a college football standout for the Boston College Eagles and was one of several Boston-area athletes to join the Patriots. He was nicknamed "Wildman" by his Patriot teammates because of his unpredictable antics, such as running out onto Kansas City's snow-covered Municipal Stadium field clad in only his helmet and athletic supporter, hitting his head on metal locker doors or ramming his forearms through locker room walls to motivate himself. Eisenhauer was an AFL All-Star in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1966, and is a member of the Patriots All-1960s (AFL) Team.
