Bob Brudzinski Biography

Bob Brudzinski is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on January 1, 1955 in Fremont, Ohio, United States. In the second third of the season in 1980, Brudzinski left the team and did not return with the Rams. He had scored 35 tackles, and six defensed passes and one sack, but believed he was not paid enough. He was substituted with George Andrews.

Brudzinski played 125 games with 94 starts for Don Shula’s Dolphins from 1981 though 1989, recording 14½ sacks to bring his career total to 23½ to go with his nine interceptions.

The Rams were forced to trade Brudzinski and did so in the spring of 1981. The Rams received multiple picks and the top pick was used to draft future star linebacker Jim Collins. With the Rams Brudzinski totaled 242 tackles, 9 sacks, and over 20 passes broken up in his 55 games (41 starts) with the Rams.

In 1979, Brudzinski had the best year of his career to his present. He played in all 16 games as the RLB, and getting named the 2nd-team All-Pro according to the Gannett Wire Service. “Bru” as his teammates called him, racked up 127 tackles. Seven of them resulting in a loss. In addition to 5 sacks. He also blocked a pass and forced a fumble. He recovering one, and snuffed out 14 passes in the area of play, or in the coverage. The Rams were through the NFC playoffs and beat both the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before losing Super Bowl XIV to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Los Angeles Rams drafted Brudzinski with the 23rd selection at the beginning of round one of the 1977 NFL Draft. The Rams intended to place him at outside linebacker to meet the 4.7 speed and strength. He was a rookie due to the fact that middle linebacker Jack Reynolds held out for the first third of the year. As the left linebacker who was starting Jim Youngblood switched to middle position to take over for Reynolds, Brudzinski started at left linebacker. He was able to play in seven games and recorded 37 tackles and two interceptions. He also recorded three forced fumbles, and one sack. He was selected All-Rookie by UPI as well as PFWA along with FD for his work in 1977. He was the first to be the right outside linebacker during week 10, when Isiah Robertson quit training reportedly complaining regarding his pay. It was reported that the Rams defense was as the top defensive team on the NFL at the time, and over the course of the two-and-a-half-months with Brudzinski in the starting lineup, they never lost their high-end status. He finished the season with 43 tackles and a touchdown. He also intercepted the pass which was returned for an touchdown, and had the quarterback had two sacks.

Brudzinski adapted quickly to the Bill Arnsbarger-coached defense nicknamed the “Killer-Bs” which propelled the Dolphins to the 1981 playoffs and the 1982 Super Bowl as well as the 1984 Super Bowl.
