From www.CheckOutMyCards.com ,a 1971 Topps football card of former Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Terry Bradshaw. With the annual NFL draft having just concluded over the weekend, Bradshaw is a good player to feature, since he was the number one overall selection in the draft in 1970 by the Steelers. It turned out to be a terrific choice by Pittsburgh, as “The Blonde Bomber” led the team to 4 Super Bowl titles in his 14 year NFL career. All 14 of those seasons were spent with the Steelers, and although he once was ridiculed by Dallas linebacker Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson as a guy who “couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C and and the A”, Bradshaw can be defined as a player in one word – winner. He didn’t compile impressive stats over his career, and was a Pro Bowler only 3 times, but was one of the NFL’s best leaders of all time. He was voted to the NFL’s All Decade team for the 1970s, and elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1989. Bradshaw is currently a studio analyst on Fox Network’s Sunday NFL television coverage.
