Albert Robert Wukits (December 16, 1917 – October 15, 1978) was a professionalfootball player in both theNational Football League (NFL) and theAll-America Football Conference (AAFC). During his time in the NFL, Wukits played for the "Steagles", which was the temporary merger of thePittsburgh Steelers andPhiladelphia Eagles, in 1943 and "Card-Pitt", the temporary merger of the Steelers andChicago Cardinals, in 1944. These two teams were the result of temporary mergers brought on the league-wide manning shortages associated withWorld War II.
However Wukits also played for the Steelers in 1945. In 1946 he left the NFL for the AAFC, where he split that season between playing for theMiami Seahawks andBuffalo Bisons.
