Four-time NFL champion. Field general. Revolutionary quarterback. Ironman.
Joseph “Red” Dunn, who is nicknamed “Red” for the color of his hair, played for Marquette’s football team from 1921-’23 prior to the program’s discontinuation in 1960. His career also includes taking the Chicago Cardinals to the 1925 NFL title and being a 1976 Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame inductee after winning three championships for the green and gold.
On offense, his position is quarterback, but that is not the same position we see today.
“When you think of quarterback, it was a different time period,” Packers museum curator Brent Hensel says.
