One of the All Time Eagle players, he was a five-time all pro during his eight year career, was named to the NFL’s All Decade team for the 1940s, and helped Philly win two NFL titles, in 1948 and ’49. Van Buren also led the league in rushing four times in his career. Knee injuries forced him to retire in 1952, and he was elected to Canton in 1965. Van Buren died of pneumonia in 2012.
