1965 Philadelphia football card of former NFL quarterback Rudy Bukich, who is a little known player that enjoyed a long 14 year career that spanned 2 decades (the 1950s and ’60s). He played for 4 different NFL teams, including 2 different stints with the Chicago Bears, first in the late ’50s and then again from 1962 until 1968. That second chance in Chicago proved to be Bukich’s most successful of his years, as he was the backup QB to Bill Wade on the Bears’ 1963 championship team, tied an NFL record in 1964 by completing 13 consecutive passes, and was the second leader passer in the league in 1965.
