Al Wukits

American football player (1917–1978)


Albert Robert Wukits (December 16, 1917 – October 15, 1978) was a professional football player in both the National Football League (NFL) and the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). During his time in the NFL, Wukits played for the "Steagles", which was the temporary merger of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles, in 1943 and "Card-Pitt", the temporary merger of the Steelers and Chicago Cardinals, in 1944. These two teams were the result of temporary mergers brought on the league-wide manning shortages associated with World War II.
