Alfred Lee Pollard (September 7, 1928 - March 3, 2002) was a professional football fullback and halfback. After a brief stint at Loyola University, he decided to transfer to the United States Military Academy (Army) in the spring of 1949 where he played under the renowned Vince Lombardi. In his 1950 season, he was Army's statistical leader in scoring and rushing, but was expelled from the school after being involved in a cheating scandal. He was drafted by the New York Yanks in the 21st round of the 1951 NFL Draft, and Pollard played a total of 30 games in the NFL with the Yanks and the Philadelphia Eagles, scoring one career touchdown. In 1954, he quit the Eagles and played in the Western Interprovincial Football Union, later known as the Canadian Football League.
