Football career

Gerry Blaine Mullins was raised in Anaheim, California where he began his football career at Fremont Junior High School, and was mentored at Anaheim High School by the city's beloved head football coach Clare Van Hoorebeke (1950 - 1972). While playing at Anaheim High, he played against a great high school coach , Ernie Johnson of El Rancho High. After graduating, Mullins played for another legendary coach, John McKay, at the University of Southern California along with O. J. Simpson.

Mullins played the offensive guard position for the Pittsburgh Steelers for his entire professional career (1971-1979). Known as "Moon," Mullins was drafted in the fourth round of the 1971 NFL Draft and went on to win four Super Bowls with the Steelers (Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV). He can be remembered for a play in Super Bowl IX when he pulled on a sweep leaving an uncontested path for Franco Harris to trot into the goal. Mullins also recovered an onside kick in Super Bowl X. Mullins retired after Super Bowl XIV.

Along with other players for the Steelers, Mullins also had a brief film career with a cameo appearance in The Rocky Bleier Story for MTM Enterprises.
