George Henry "Hobby" Kinderdine (August 13, 1894 – June 22, 1967) was an American football center and guard who played fourteen seasons for the Dayton Triangles of the Ohio League and National Football League.
Kinderdine also was the first person in NFL history to kick an extra point.
He often shifted back and intercepted passes, but he was just as sharp at knifing through and grabbing the ball carrier before he got to the line of scrimmage on a running play.
In today's football, even though he weighed only about 165 pounds, I'll guarantee he would have been one of the greatest of the linebackers."
[2] Although Kinderdine was never named All-Pro, he was considered to be one of the best offensive linemen of the time.
[7] Kinderdine died unexpectedly on June 22, 1967, at the age of 72 in Kettering, Ohio.
