Bill Bates tough as nails an old school football player

They measured his size and said he was too small, they measured his speed and said he was too slow, but they couldn't measure his Heart which was off the charts...Thank you Bill 👍😎

Geezer, he was a 6 foot 1, 215 pound safety!! Too small?? I guess you have him confused with your brain. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️

He also had a serious nose for the football. The local VW dealer had him over as a celebrity for an openhouse. That dealer was 6'6" and played basketball at Texas, his son is 6'6" too. Bill looked right at hiome with them.

@@SuperChuckRaney 6-1 definitely isn’t short!! But safeties are rarely over 6-1, and usually a bit under. Whoever said he was too small obviously knows nothing about football. 🤪

He was a smashmouth hitter with a very high football IQ. So glad he was able to stay on into the early 90s to get those Super Bowl wins. He deserved them.

Too Tall was the reason my love for the game became a life long passion. Billy, Woody, Emmitt and Danny White all strengthened it through the years. Darren is an amazing guy. We come from the same HS, different times though. My frosh year was the year he was drafted by the Boys and Phillipe Sparks by the Giants,( Both Maryvale boys). Woody came to visit our coaches after his first superbowl. I still remember him chucking the ring across the room in Coach Tucker's class so we could all hold it and get a good long look at it.

I remember when he was drafted by the Cowboys. He was a walk on and, I think, his wife just had twins, he was living with her parents and this was his last hope. I think that's right. I could be wrong. Anyway, he was a Cinderella story. Just came out of nowhere. And those forearms. He had massive forearms. I remember that for sure.
