"Hut, hut, hike..." Which president was a star football player who turned down offers from the Packers and the Lions?

Answer Gerald Ford

Gerald Ford was a top footballer at the University of Michigan, and his team even won national titles two years that he played. The Packers and Lions must have been tracking him, because he turned down offers from both after graduation in lieu of a coaching job at Yale, where he also attended law school. Overachiever.
