 | Bednarik was no "Lovin' Dan." His plaque in the Pro Football Hall of Fame says he was a "rugged, durable, bulldozing blocker" and a "bone-jarring tackler." That meant he was no Deion, either. |
 | Bednarik speaks from a vastly different reference point, remembering a time when he was not such an exception to the ever-changing rules. |
 | Bednarik stayed close to home after the war, enrolling at Penn in 1945 with the goal of becoming a coach and a teacher. |
