Not all of the ones who make it even like it in the pros. Some, like former Michigan fullback Ed Shuttlesworth, are quite well off being away from football. Shuttlesworth, who spent two years with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, no longer makes his living crashing through an offensive line. Now he makes his money with his brains, not his brawn. HE STANDS 6-2, 225, but that frame is put to work as a systems analyst for Procter and Gamble in his hometown of Cincinnati. Shuttlesworth says that being an athlete at Michigan did not sentence him to a life long "jock" image. "I was at Michigan mostly to get my degree so that I could have a careeer outside of football. It (professional football) was just a short term thing. People who make it are basically lucky," said Shut- tlesworth, -who ranks ninth on Michigan's all-time career rushing list. A history major at the University, he accumulated some impressive statistics in the three years he played, 1971, '72, and '73. He ran for a total of 2,348 yards, and scored 23 touchdowns. SHUTTLESWORTH was a workhorse running back. When Bo needed that ex- tra push for a first down, or the last Alum__ni Updat e yard in a touchdown drive, he usually called for Shuttlesworth up the middle. During his three playing years, the Wolverines' record was 32-2-1. "I'd like to see Bo beat that three-year record now," Shuttlesworth said laughing. But despite that record, Shuttleswor- th only went to one bowl game - a 13-12 losing effort against Stanford in the Rose Bowl his junior year. Michigan went undefeated (10-0-1) his senior year, but was not invited to a bowl game. "I GUESS we were just a little ahead of our time. Nowadays we'd have all kinds of offers with that kind of record," he said referring to the recent flood of bowl games. After Michigan, Shuttlesworth was drafted by the Baltimore Colts of the NFL. Acting on advice from his agent, however, he signed with Toronto because it would mean more money quickly. Then came his two unmemorable years in the CFL. "The CFL was second rate after being at Michigan. We would play for about 25,000 people as com- pared to the 100,000 in Ann Arbor. I en- joyed the city of Toronto, I liked Canada, but the football was bad," he recalled. IT IS NO surprise then that he spent those years in Toronto looking for his chance to play in the NFL. In 1976 Shuttlesworth tried out for the Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles, but it was not to be. When he was cut from both those teams, Ed Shuttlesworth quit football. Now he does 'design work on com- puter systems. A history major designing computer systems? Does a degree in history from Michigan prepare someone well enough for a career outside of football? "IT DIDN'T prepare me for my present job, but it let me let others know that I could be trained," he replied. Furthermore, Shuttlesworth says that his experience as a student-athlete taught him self-discipline and motivation. He never anticipated a long career in football, so it was these qualities that carried him on to be successful after football. A fast time in the 40 is impor- tant to the average football player. Shuttlesworth believes, however, that football enabled him to learn the things that have helped him throughout his life. The speed and the power weren't enough to make him an NFL star. But what if he had gone straight to the NFL out of college? What if he had stuck with football and played in Canada just another year? Ed Shuttlesworth said it best. "Hin- dsight is 20-20." He's happy where he is now. -Sports information photo Former Wolverine great Ed Shuttlesworth takes a handoff from quarter- back Tom Slade in 1973 action.
