Michael Pascol Mandarino (March 16, 1921 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – 1985) was an American football offensive lineman.
He would then rushed to the ballpark to practice under the lights with the Eagles, and after the game on Sundays he would again return to his studies.
According to Mandarino, coach Greasy Neale reportedly told him to play tackle after Vic Sears was injured.
The following week, both of Eagles' centers, Bap Manzini and Vic Lindskog, were injured, so Greasy came back and told Mandarino that he "should be smart enough to learn three sets of plays".
He later taught at La Salle and won international fame for his research in orthopedic surgery.
