🏈 Chuck Bednarik: The NFL’s Last True Sixty-Minute Man | War Hero to Football Legend
Discover the incredible story of Chuck “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik, a WWII veteran turned NFL ironman who defined football’s toughest era. From flying 30 combat missions over Nazi Germany to becoming the NFL’s last “sixty-minute man” playing both offense and defense, Bednarik’s journey is legendary. A Pennsylvania immigrant’s son who survived harrowing war experiences to become the #1 NFL draft pick in 1949, he played his entire 14-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Famous for his devastating tackle on Frank Gifford and game-winning play in the 1960 NFL Championship, Bednarik embodied the raw spirit of old-school football. As a B-24 gunner, concrete salesman, and Hall of Famer who played 166 out of 169 possible games, his story represents a bygone era of true football warriors.
