Nelson Edward Toburen is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers. He played high school football at Colby High School and college football at Wichita State University as an End. Nelson Toburen, was selected in the 14th Round of the 1961 NFL Draft, by the Green Bay Packers. Toburen, a second-year linebacker with the world champion Green Bay Packers, was making his first start in the National Football League. The date was November 18, 1962. The site was City Stadium, Green Bay Wisconsin. The opponent was the Western Conference rival Baltimore Colts led by star quarterback Johnny Unitas. "Unitas went back to pass and then started to run," Toburen said. " Nitschke was coming at him straight on and I was coming from the side. "I hit him squarely in the hip, but the mechanics of the tackle got blown up. My head was down and it should have been up." Toburen's hit jarred the ball loose from Unitas and Nitschke recovered the fumble. But Toburen lie still on the City Stadium turf. "With my first start, my emotions were high, and I was playing reckless that day," Toburen said.
