He was just one semester short of a law degree when he became disenchanted with the idea.
Pihos was an All-American at the Indiana University, as a defensive end. Pete led the NFL in receiving from 1953 through 1955 and earned first-team All-Pro or All-League honors six times and was named to six Pro Bowls.
