Who is Terry Bradshaw?
Terry Paxton Bradshaw (born September 2, 1948) is a retired American football quarterback who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He has been a television sports analyst and co-host of Fox NFL Sunday since 1994.
Bradshaw was born in 1948 in Shreveport, Louisiana. His father, William Marvin “Bill” Bradshaw (1927-2014), was a native of Sparta, Tennessee, and a former vice president of manufacturing for the Riley Beaird Company in Shreveport. He was also a Southern Baptist layman. Novis Gay (born 1929) was one of five children born to Clifford and Lula Gay of Red River Parish, Louisiana. Gary is his older brother, and Craig is his younger brother.
Bradshaw chose Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. He is a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and has a strong connection to his alma mater. Initially, he was second in the quarterback depth chart behind Phil “Roxie” Robertson, who later became famous as the inventor of the Duck Commander duck call and TV personality on the A&E show Duck Dynasty.
Bradshaw was the first overall pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had won a coin flip tiebreaker with the Chicago Bears due to the teams having identical 1-13 records in 1969. Bradshaw was widely regarded as the consensus number-one pick at the time.
After splitting time with Terry Hanratty in his rookie season, Bradshaw became a starter in his second season. During his first few seasons, the 6’3″ 215-pound quarterback was erratic and threw a lot of interceptions (he threw 210 interceptions in his career), and he was widely mocked by the media for his rural roots and perceived lack of intelligence.
