Rocky Bleier is a former NFL running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Drafted for the Vietnam War after his rookie season in 1968, Rocky was wounded in battle. Bleier was shot in his left thigh, and while down, he was hit by a grenade that embedded shrapnel into his right leg and foot. Rocky was told he would never play football again; in fact, he would be lucky if he could ever walk.
However, Rocky Bleier, being a natural fighter, was determined to walk, and he was even more determined that he would play football again. By using the strength of his mind and willpower, he worked hard to rehabilitate his legs, and he learned to walk again. He returned to the Steelers in 1969.
That first year back, Bleier came in at only 180 pounds, but worse, he could hardly walk. For the next two years, he worked hard to regain a position on the team, but his recovery was slower than he wanted, and he eventually was cut from the team…twice. Again, Rocky set his mind to his goal. He spent several more years in rehab and training, and in 1974 he made the team again, weighing in at a solid 212 pounds. Football fans will recall that Rocky Bleier not only made the team, he was an integral part of four Super Bowl championships! He even made the winning catch in Super Bowl XIII.
Now, Rocky Bleier is a successful businessman, a philanthropist and an excellent keynote speaker!
