Frank Kosikowski

Frank Leon Kosikowski (July 23, 1926 – November 17, 1991) was an American football offensive and defensive end who was on two Notre Dame national championship teams in the 1940s and played professionally for the Cleveland Browns in 1948.

Kosikowski grew up outside of Milwaukee and was a star on his high school football team. He attended Marquette University, but his college football career was derailed by service in the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war, he transferred to Notre Dame, where he played under coach Frank Leahy and won two national championships. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) in 1947, but the Browns acquired him in 1948. He stayed in Cleveland for the 1948 season, when the team won all of its games and the AAFC championship. Provided by Wikipedia
