Memphis gave the WFL instant credibility by signing three stars from the Miami Dolphins: running backs Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick, and wide receiver Paul Warfield for the 1975 season. John McVay was introduced as the Memphis Southmen head coach before the start of the 1974 football season. Even without the Miami Trio, the Southmen of 1974 found two durable running backs in J.J. Jennings and John Harvey. Its opener, against Detroit, drew 30,122. Of the most famous was Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n' Roll and a professed football nut.
