John Stallworth (Born July 15, 1952, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) played for Alabama A&M in college football, becoming the Pittsburgh Steelers fourth round draft pick in 1974. He played in six AFC championships and went to four Super Bowls. His career statistics were an impressive 537 receptions for 8,723 yards and 63 TDs. He played in four Pro Bowls and was the Steelers' two-time MVP.

He is best remembered for his heroics in the Super Bowl. In Super Bowl XIII, he caught a 74-yard touchdown pass from Terry Bradshaw that would later be a crucial touchdown in a 35-31 Steelers win over the Dallas Cowboys.

One year later, at Super Bowl XIV with the Steelers trailing the Los Angeles Rams 19-17 early in the 4th quarter, Steelers' coach Chuck Noll called for "60-Prevent-Slot-Hook-And-Go" a play that the Steelers failed in practice prior to the big game, with 12 minutes remaining, Bradshaw dropped back and threw it long to Stallworth who caught it and beat Rod Perry to the end zone for the touchdown that would paved the way for the Steelers 31-19 win and their 4th world championship. That amazing catch put Stallworth on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Mr. Stallworth earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and an MBA with a concentration in Finance from Alabama A&M University.

In 1986, he founded Madison Research Corporation (MRC). The company specializes in providing engineering and information technology services to government and commercial clients.

MRC manages six regional offices: Huntsville, AL (headquarters); Warner Robins, GA; Orlando, FL; Shalimar, FL; Montgomery, AL; Houston, TX; and Dayton, OH.
