Frank William Kuchta (September 18, 1936 – November 24, 2017) was an American gridiron football center and linebacker[1] in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins. He was also among the players of the inaugural Denver Broncos team in the American Football League (AFL).[2]
He played college football at the University of Notre Dame and was drafted in the ninth round of the 1958 NFL draft.[3] During his career at the University of Notre Dame he played in the historic 1957 Notre Dame vs the University of Oklahoma game where the Irish broke Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak—a streak which stands to this day. He made a crucial tackle to help win the game and was awarded AP Lineman of the Week.
After leaving the NFL, he played for a season with the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League (CFL).[4]
