Justice Byron "Whizzer" White, nominated to the US Supreme Court by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was a College Football star and professional halfback for the Pittsburgh Pirates (now Steelers) and Detroit Lions before World War II. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

White attended Yale Law School and graduated magna cum laude in 1946. He served on the Supreme Court from 1962 until his retirement in 1993. President Clinton appointed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as White's successor.
