Francis “Hap” Moran was a left halfback signed in 1926 out of Carnegie Tech and Grinnell College. His nickname came from the cartoon “Happy Houlihan.” In the course of his career, Moran started at halfback, tail back, wing back, quarterback, blocking back, defensive back ,and linebacker. He was the second-highest scorer for the 1926 championship team. He also had the distinction of scoring the opening touchdown in the first Philadelphia Eagles game, albeit for the New York Giants. When he retired in 1933 after eight seasons, he held the NFL records for longest run from scrimmage and most yards receiving in a game.
