Bradshaw was the first player chosen in the 1970 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he spent the entirety of his 13-year career, during which he led the Steelers to four Super Bowl championships en route to his 1989 induction as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Following his retirement from the NFL, Bradshaw became one of the game's most popular television analysts before joining the cast of the top-rated and four-time Emmy Award-winning Fox NFL Sunday pregame show.
