He attended Beatrice H.S., where he was the Nebraska high school track state champion for the 100 yard dash in 1920 and the 440 dash and 880 yard relay in 1921. He attended DePauw University and then the University of Nebraska where he earned varsity letters as a quarterback in 1923 and 1924. He was a Cornhusker on the 1923 team that defeated Notre Dame University and head coach Knute Rockne's "Four Horsemen" for the second straight year. He was the starting quarterback in the following year's 1924 game where the Cornhuskers lost 34-6 to the Fighting Irish. Al played 34 games during five years in the NFL between 1925 and 1930. He did not play in 1929. He made his professional debut in the NFL playing two years with the Kansas City Cowboys. On December 12, 1926 against the Duluth Eskimos he tied an NFL record of 4 drop-kicked field goals in a single game. When the Kansas City Cowboys franchise folded at the end of the 1926 season, he followed his player-coach LeRoy Andrews as the team essentially relocated as the Cleveland Bulldogs in 1927. He was listed as a tailback and wore jersey number 1. It was with the Bulldogs that he had his best year when he ran back a fumble for a touchdown, and was tied for sixth in the league for touchdowns and fifth in field goals. In 1928 he played for the New York Giants and was listed as a blocking back. After a year off, Bloodgood played pre-season football with the Green Bay Packers. He played three games on the 1930 Green Bay Packers championship team, where he was listed as a back and special teams starter. At the age of 42 he went through Army boot camp with flying colors, but decided against staying in the army. He sold cars when he came home, and was also a Spanish teacher. Elbert died of pneumonia.
