Like many other Americans, Rocky Bleier left his job to fight in the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike most of his fellow soldiers, though, Bleier was an NFL running back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later known for his heroics alongside Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris on the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> dynasty of the 1970s, Bleier traded in his cleats for boots when the U.S. Army drafted him in 1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
