Henry “Two-Bits” Homan

Back
Lebanon Valley

1925-1930

Henry “Two-Bits” Homan was from Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and attended Lebanon Valley College. Playing both back and quarterback, he stood just 5′5″— one of the smallest players ever in the NFL. Homan played 81 total games for the Yellow Jackets and scored 10 total touchdowns (2 rushing, 7 receiving, 1 punt return). He also played on the FAA baseball team. Rumor has it, he invented the touchdown dance. After returning a punt for a touchdown, he held on to the ball and shook his teammates’ hands and the official’s hand before returning the ball.
