Not a big guy (about 5'10"), he and Larry Wilson of the St. Louis Cardinals were the two best safties in football at the time. He was the surest tackler on a Packer team of excellent tacklers. He was an exciting punt returner. My father had a friend who was a diehard Trojan fan and he told my dad (while I was listening) that he looked like he got in the huddle (he was SC's QB), and told all the receivers to go out for a pass and Willie would run around in the backfield ala Fran Tarkington/Russell Wilson until someone would get open. Went undrafted and wrote to Vince asking for a tryout. He famously said on a film of the 1st super bowl..."looks like the Hammer got hammered" after Fred Williamson got knocked out of the game. He was a very important cog in the GBP dynasty teams.</p></blockquote><p></p>
