Mac Speedie: Pro Football Hall of Fame Bio

By Darin Hayes 📅 2024-01-12
Born January 12, 1920, in Odell, Illinois, was the great end from Utah, Mac Speedie. The Pro Football Hall of Fame says that Mac Speedie was the Detroit Lions' 15th-round pick in the 1942 NFL Draft, but he enlisted in the Army to serve his country rather than play pro ball, at least at first.



After the War, he signed on with the AAFC’s Cleveland Browns and led the League in receiving 3 out of the League's League four years, also setting AAFC records. He was an All-Pro three times, All-NFL twice, and All-AAFC in four seasons. The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrined Mac Speedie 100 years after his birth in 2020.



More than just statistics, Speedie's story resonates with his resilience and pioneering spirit. He defied expectations, proving that size and past challenges could not hold him back. In a league dominated by hulking running backs and bruising linemen, Speedie carved his niche as a smaller, faster player who excelled with his skill and intelligence.
