Albert Edward Stofko (May 20, 1920 – December 19, 1988) was a professional football player in the National Football League (NFL). He graduated from Johnstown Pennsylvania High School and attended Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania.

Career

Stofko played in the National Football League for just one season in 1945. Stofko was drafted 85th overall by the "Card-Pitt", a team that was the result of a temporary merger between the Chicago Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The teams' merger was a result of the manning shortages experienced league-wide due to World War II. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1945.

He attempted 17 passes and completed 7 for a 41.2% average. He also punted for a 36.3 yards per punt average.{{cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StofEd20.htm |title=Ed Stofko NFL Football Statistics |publisher=Pro-Football-Reference.com |date= |access-date=2013-08-24}}
