In Loving Memory: Bill Willis

A great Buckeye and pioneer passed away today. The former Ohio State football and NFL great Bill Willis died last night. He helped break the racial barriers in when Paul Brown chose him to be apart of the newly Cleveland Browns in 1946. Paul Brown also coached him in 1942 (a national championship year!) when he was a Buckeye.

He had his jersey retired this year during halftime of the Ohio State vs. Wisconsin game on November 3rd. Very deserving.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends left behind.
