Lynn Dickey, a native of Osawatomie, Kan., still holds numerous K-State passing records and ranks third on the Big Eight’s all-time list with 6,208 career passing yards. He is also second on K-State’s all-time total offense chart.
He spent most of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers but also played several seasons with the Houston Oilers. He threw for more than 21,000 yards with the Packers, including 4,458 yards in 1983 which at the time ranked second in NFL history.
Dickey was chosen as the first-team quarterback on the all-time Big Eight football team in 1995 and is a charter member of the K-State Sports Hall of Fame (1990). In 1996, when the Big Eight expanded to the Big 12 Conference, the Associated Press named Dickey as the All-Time Big Eight Quarterback. He was inducted into the State of Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.
