Steve Uhrinyak


Steven James Uhrinyak was an American football guard and tackle. Born in 1914 in Homestead, Pennsylvania, he played college football at Franklin & Marshall College from 1936 to 1938. In 1939, he signed with the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.
He was converted by coach Ray Flaherty from a guard to a tackle and appeared as a backup in the season opener against the Eagles. He was released after the first game as he "appeared a little too green" for NFL competition. He was then waived by all nine of the other NFL clubs.
