When I was a student the best basketball player in the building (Foster) for intramurals was also the Bama QB. However, he didn't play. He would just sit and watch the games, and also being the nicest person in the building would talk to anyone who wished to talk to him. His name was Pat Trammell.
Edit: I never think of Pat without thinking of this:
"A short time after Coach Bryant retired (due to advanced heart disease), legendary Birmingham News writer Clyde Bolton caught Bryant in a melancholy moment and asked him quietly, “Who was your favorite player, Coach?”
Oh course, Bryant would never pick one kid over the other, and he loved the guys who consistently tried to outwork their limited abilities every bit as much as his glittering All-Americans, but Bolton finally caught the legendary Alabama molder-of-men just right.
Coach Bryant talked about 10 or 15 “really special” players and then, pausing a moment, famously told the writer, “Now you’ll have to forgive me here for getting a little sentimental but … Pat Trammell was not just my favorite player … he was the favorite person … I’ve ever had in my life.”
That's who Pat Trammell was.
