  • Emlen Lewis Tunnell (29 mars 1924 - 22 juillet 1975) est un joueur de football américain. En 1967, il est le premier Afro-américain à être introniser au Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tunnell entame sa carrière de footballeur professionnel en 1948 après des études à l'université de Toledo et à l'Université de l'Iowa puis un service militaire au sein des gardes côtiers des États-Unis. Il se met à la recherche d'un contrat professionnel que lui offrent les Giants de New York. Il devient ainsi le premier joueur noir à évoluer chez les Géants. Au poste de safety, il s'impose très rapidement comme le pilier de la défense, alors surnommée la « défense parapluie » (Umbrella defense) en référence à la défense des Giants qui annihilait le jeu à la passe des adversaires dans les années 1950.
