"Bullet" Bill Dudley

It's a sad day for the Black and Gold. Yes, Steeler Nation lost a legend when "Bullet" Bill Dudley died in Virginia, he was 88 years old. 

For those of you that don't remember the Bullet, but in the interest of edification I will tell you that in 1946 he became the last player in NFL history to lead the league in Rushing Yards, Punt Return Yards and Interceptions.  He led the league in nine other categories that year and became the first Steeler to win League MVP. 

Mr. Dudley was always available to the fans and the media and loved to tell stories of the ineptitude of the lovable losers from the 'Burgh. He only played on one winning team during his tenure with the Steelers, often blamed Head Coach  Jock Sutherland for the team's failures and was eventually traded to Detroit for noted drunk, and better story teller, Bobby Layne. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1966.

Rest in Peace Bullet
