San Francisco 49ers Win
Summary: Pittsburgh sent fullback John Henry Johnson to San Francisco for Ed Pullerton. Johnson later returned to Pittsburgh (1960) and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Analysis: John Henry Johnson was a bruising, multi-faceted fullback who would go on to rush for over 6,000 yards and earn four Pro Bowl selections in his career, ultimately enshrined in Canton. Ed Pullerton was a fringe contributor. Pittsburgh received virtually nothing for a player who was already showing HOF-caliber ability. The grade of Even Trade in the original is wildly inaccurate. This is a clear Pittsburgh loss. Downgraded to D.
