Jack Butler, whose full name was John Bradshaw Butler, lived from November 12, 1927, to May 11, 2013, and was an American professional football player who was a cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. He joined the Steelers in 1951 as an undrafted free agent on a recommendation that owner Art Rooney received from his brother, and became a defensive back and occasional receiver. He made four straight Pro Bowls from 1955 to 1958, led the league with ten interceptions in 1957 and finished with 52 career interceptions before a knee injury ended his career in 1959. He then spent 46 years with the BLESTO scouting combine, 44 of them as its director, and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
