"Kunz, George"

Every team needs an anchor, a player whose quiet consistency and powerful presence elevate those around him. For the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and later in the NFL, that player was George Kunz. Born on July 5, 1947, this unsung hero of the offensive line left an indelible mark on football.
This series will dive deep into Kunz's remarkable journey. We'll explore his crucial role on the 1966 National Champion Notre Dame squad, his path as the second overall pick in the 1969 NFL Draft, and his stellar professional career that included eight Pro Bowl selections. Join us as we celebrate the quiet strength and enduring legacy of one of football's most dominant, yet often understated, linemen.
