Career
Bunz played at California State University, Long Beach and Oakmont High School before being drafted in the first round of the 1978 NFL Draft by the 49ers. He currently teaches Physical Education at Sutter Middle School, in Sacramento, California. Had a small role in the 1979 movie North Dallas Forty.
In Super Bowl XVI (January 24, 1982), Bunz made one of the most famous tackles in NFL history.
On a critical 3rd-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson passed to Charles Alexander in the right flat, but Bunz came up fast, grabbed Alexander around the waist, and hurled him backward before he could break the plane of the goal line. Had Bunz tackled Alexander low, his momentum certainly would have carried him into the end zone.
