“Abramoski played an integral role in ensuring the team’s health through their league-record four consecutive Super Bowl appearances,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame published.
“An Erie, Pennsylvania, native, Abramoski began his career at the University of Detroit, where he became the youngest Division I head athletic trainer in the country. He worked part time for the Detroit Lions, and later full time at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, before being recruited by Buffalo in 1959. Players trusted Abramoski not only for his outstanding physical therapy expertise, but also for his care and compassion off the field.”
Former Detroit Lions head athletic trainer Kent Falb and former Jacksonville Jaguars head athletic trainer Michael Ryan will also be recognized at the Awards of Excellence program in this category.
