Urban Boyd Brumbaugh, Jr. (August 24, 1915 – April 5, 1988) was an American professional football player in the National Football League (NFL) for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Art Rooney's Pittsburgh franchise, renamed from the Pirates to the Steelers during Brumbaugh's time with the team.

[2] In that year, Brumbaugh had led the Dukes to a 7–0 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers, Pitt's only loss of the season in a National Championship campaign.
