Wow! What a long life! I would not have thought he was still alive.

Imagine had Lujack kept playing? His ability allowed the Bears to move on from Bobby Layne, one of the worst mistakes in franchise history but they still had Luckman as well in 1949. In 1950, Lujack was named All-Pro despite throwing 4TDs and 21 INTS!

I remember Johnny Lujack as an analyst on pro and college football games on TV in the 60s. He was wearing a fedora, very articulate.

Really sad to hear this. I got to interview him a few years back. Really nice guy, too - was really gracious. Very thankful to have gotten to connect with him. He was the oldest living Heisman winner.

I think Lujack still holds the Bears’ record for most passing yards in a game. I think one would have to be at least 88 years old to have played for Frank Leahy at Notre Dame if Frank’s last season was ‘53?
