Klecko, at the age of 72, was convicted of fraud in 1993, while Newton, at 64, served a 30-month sentence for drug possession. Lewis, at 46, pleaded guilty to a drug-related offense, and Henry, at 47, was convicted of drug trafficking. Billy Cannon, posthumously pardoned, served a sentence for counterfeiting and was the winner of the Heisman Trophy in 1959.
