Myhra was a two-time All American first team tackle in an era when football players went both ways in 1955-56. He is a native of Wahpeton, N.D. Myhra has the distinction of being the first Sioux football player to make it big in the post-WW II pro football. He signed and played six seasons with the then world champion Baltimore Colts. In a playoff game with the New York Giants, Steve kicked the field goal that led to the first overtime-pro game in 1961. Steve was a fine weightman on Sioux track teams, lettering twice in that sport. But he gained a lasting reputation as a great football lineman, widely respected by football men.
