Steven James Uhrinyak (November 23, 1914 – December 18, 1986) was an American football guard and tackle. Born in 1914 in Homestead, Pennsylvania, he played college football at Franklin & Marshall College from 1936 to 1938.[1] In 1939, he signed with the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL).[2] He was converted by coach Ray Flaherty from a guard to a tackle and appeared as a backup in the season opener against the Eagles. He was released after the first game as he "appeared a little too green" for NFL competition. He was then waived by all nine of the other NFL clubs.[3]
