http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/invincible.phpDid Papale really play no organized football after high school, before earning a spot on the Philadelphia Eagles at the age of 30?Although the movie Invincible truthfully emphasizes that Vince Papale played no football on the college level, the movie fails to mention that Papale did play in the short lived World Football League (WFL) for two years starting in 1974. Making a little bit of money in the league as a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Bell, Papale eventually found himself in debt when the league folded in 1975. "You do some stupid things because the first time in your life you have some money," Papale says. "Then all of a sudden there you are: You don't have those bucks that are coming in all the time." -premierespeakers.com
Did Papale really just happen to go to the 1976 open tryout on a whim?No. The Philadelphia Eagles contacted Papale and invited him to the open tryout, along with a few other former Philadelphia Bell players. He did train strenuously. It is also true that the tryout attracted an odd assortment of characters, as then Eagles coach Dick Vermeil remembered in a recent interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer. "All kinds of people turned out (800 total). We had a doctor, guys with big bellies, kids right out of high school." As shown in the film, on the day of the tryout, Dick Vermeil did take note of Papale, especially Papale's ability to run a 40 yard dash in an impressive 4.5 seconds.
The movie Invincible shows Vince scoring a touchdown, but his stats displayed above seem to contradict this?The filmmakers added Vince's touchdown for dramatic effect. In real life, he never scored a TD. -Post-Gazette.com
