  • Clifford Lewis Stoudt is a former American football quarterback for Youngstown State University and the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers. Drafted in the 5th round (121st overall) by the steelers, Stoudt overcame the odds and became the backup to Terry Bradshaw for many seasons before taking over as starter during Bradshaw's injury plagued 1983 season. Stoudt led the team to a fast start, but the team and Stoudt melted down in the season's second half. Steeler fans, accustomed to Terry Bradshaws's late game heroics turned on Stoudt viciously. The team stumbled into the playoffs but were quickly dispatched by the Los Angeles Raiders. After the 1983 season, Stoudt left Pittsburgh, signing with the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL. The Stallions were a well-coached team with a solid defense, a star HB in former Bill Joe Cribbs, and a star WR in ex-steeler Jim Smith. The Birmingham fans welcomed Stoudt warmly. (Amusingly, during a 1984 game against the Pittsburgh Maulers, Stoudt was pelted with snow balls during the whole game. It would turn out to be the only sellout in the one season history of the Pittsburgh Maulers. ) After a fantastic two season run in the USFL where Stoudt was in the top 5 in passing with such stars as Jim Kelly, Bobby Hebert, and Chuck Fusina, Stoudt returned to the NFL. He signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and stayed with them through the 1988 season when they moved to Phoenix. He spent his final NFL season with the Miami Dolphins appearing in three games without attempting a pass. He currently lives in Dublin, Ohio.
