Bruce Smith (D. 1967) played halfback for the back-to-back national champion Gophers in 1940 and 1941. Smith was captain of the 1941 University of Minnesota team. He received the Heisman Trophy two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Smith earned first team All-American and All-Big Ten honors in 1941. During World War II he served as a United States Navy fighter pilot. After the war, he briefly played in the National Football League with the Green Bay Packers (1945–1948) and the Los Angeles Rams (1948). He is also a member of the College FB HOF. We offer a very rare original 10x8 photo from the archives of the Baltimore Sun stamped on the back November 14, 1951 pictured as a member of the Green Bay Packers. A gorgeous photo printed a few years after his playing days had ended. Killer shot!!!
