Les Studdard (born December 14, 1958) is a former American football center. He played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1982 and for the Houston Oilers in 1983.[1][2]
He is the younger brother of former Denver Broncos offensive tackle Dave Studdard and the uncle of former NFL offensive lineman Kasey Studdard.
At Texas he was an All-Southwest Conference center in 1980. He was then drafted by the Chiefs in the 10th Round of the 1981 NFL Draft. He spent the 1981 season on the injured reserve.[3]
He became the starting center for the Chiefs for two games after center Jack Rudnay, had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.[4] At the end of the season he was selected to receive the Mack Lee Hill Award given to the Chiefs first-year player who best exemplifies the spirit and dedication of the late Hill, a running back with the Chiefs in 1964–65.[5]
After the Chiefs drafted Bob Rush from San Diego during the 1983 off season, Studdard was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for an undisclosed draft choice.[3] Two days later he was cut by the Eagles.[6] He was then signed by the Oilers, which whom he played in 6 games.
After the 1983–84 season he became a free agent, but in the summer of 1984 he was re-signed by the Oilers, but he did not see any playing time that season.[7]
