Goldberg played for the Cards (then based in Chicago) from 1939 to 1943 and after the war, from 1946 to 1948. He was a running back, defensive back and return man during the league's two-way heyday and a member of the franchise's last championship team in 1947. A second-team All-Pro in 1941, Goldberg finished with 2,420 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns during his career. An excellent returner, he led the NFL in all-purpose yards in 1941, and finished with 19 career interceptions – including a league-best seven in 1941. Nicknamed "Biggie," the West Virginia native was inducted into the Jewish Hall of Fame in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1980. He was 88 when he died in 2006.
