Benjamin Aaron Roderick (May 11, 1899 – November 30, 1974) was a professional American football player during the early years of the National Football League (NFL) with the Buffalo All-Americans, Canton Bulldogs and Buffalo Bisons. Roderick won an NFL championship with the Canton Bulldogs in 1923.[1] He also played for Cleveland Tigers, while playing in the American Professional Football Association, the organization that later became the NFL.[2]
In 1922, Roderick transferred from Columbia University to Boston College. His teammate at Columbia, Sam Dana, who became the longest surviving NFL alumnus in 2003, referred to Roderick as "a sweetheart of a player". Dana later adopted Roderick's style of running.[3]
Roderick was one of 226 NFL personnel who served in the military during the Korean War.[4]
