Bob Brunet

Brunet led the Bulldogs in rushing in 1965 with 477 yards and again in 1967 with 631 yards, earning all-conference honors in each of those season (a foot injury sidelined Brunet for all of 1966). Over the course of his college career he had five 100-yard-plus games, including a 224-yard effort against Lamar in 1967. == NFL career ==

As a rookie for the Redskins in 1968, Brunet was Washington's second-leading rusher with 227 yards. He also caught 18 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. As a pro player, he was used primarily on special teams, appearing overall in 81 games over eight seasons--not including the 1969 he sat out and 1974 he missed due to injuries. Brunet retired after suffering a career-ending injury during the 1977 season. == Business career ==

In 1973, Brunet and his brother, Billy, began a seafood delivery business in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They then turned the company into a restaurant, which opened in 1977 under the name The Galley before being renamed to Brunet's Cajun Restaurant in the early 1980s. They retired in 2011 and closed the restaurant. == Personal life and death ==

In 2022, Brunet was inducted into the Bayou Region Athletic Hall of Fame. Brunet died on June 26, 2025, at the age of 78. == References ==
