Johnny Lattner (born October 24, 1932 in Chicago, Illinois) was a halfback for the University of Notre Dame. He won the Maxwell Award twice, in 1952 and 1953, and also won the Heisman Trophy in 1953. In 1954, Lattner was drafted in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but played with them for only one season before entering the United States Air Force. There he suffered a severe knee injury during a football game, an injury that prevented him from ever playing professional football again.
