Alvin John "Antelope Al" Krueger (April 3, 1919 – February 20, 1999) was an American football end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins. He also played in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) for the Los Angeles Dons. He played college football at the University of Southern California.

Krueger received the winning touchdown pass from quarterback Doyle Nave over a no-scoring Duke team in the 1939 Rose Bowl. He and Nave were named Co-MVP for that game and were later inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.[1] He was selected in the seventh round of the 1941 NFL draft by Washington.[2]
