 In January 1910 , Walter Camp published his All @-@ Time All @-@ American list in Century magazine , selecting the best player at each position over the 20 years he had been watching college football . He selected Schulz as his center , the first of many such All @-@ Time All @-@ American selections for Schulz . At the time , Camp said : " Big , strong and fast , he combined all the defensive and offensive qualities of the best line men with the speed , sure tackling and intuition as to what to do on the instant that are winning qualities of the defensive back . In addition , his passing was excellent , as he had plenty of speed for his kicker , steadiness for his quarter , and ability to pass in directions other than in a straight line which made him especially valuable in certain formation plays " .
