Edward Joseph Michaels (born Mikolajewski) (June 11, 1914 – January 1976) was an American football guard in the National Football League for the Chicago Bears, the Washington Redskins, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Michaels also played on the "Steagles", a merged team consisting of the Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers in 1943. The team was the result of a league-wide manning shortage brought on by World War II. Many of the "Steagles" players were labeled 4-F's, those deemed physically unfit due to ailments such as ulcers, flat feet and even partial blindness. Michaels was labeled a 4F because he was nearly deaf.
He played college football at Villanova University and was drafted in the second round of the 1936 NFL Draft.
In 1976, he was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame.
