Born October 14, 1947 in Gary, Indiana.
Mr. Kuechenberg played college football at the University of Notre Dame where he was a member of the 1966 national championship team.  Professionally he played with the Miami Dolphins from 1970 through 1984 and became one of the NFL's best run-blockers. He played in more games than any other Dolphin player and was the only player to play in five Super Bowl games.  The Dolphins won Super Bowls VII and VIII.  In 1972, with Kuechenberg on the team, Miami completed a perfect season 17-0 with a Super Bowl victory over the Washington Redskins.
