‘"As solid a player and more important, as solid an individual, as they make," Hall of Fame guard Billy Shaw, who played the guard spot opposite Kalsu with the Bills in ’68, once noted. "He would have been a great player, believe me, and not just because he was a great athlete. He just wanted to be good, that’s all. And he wanted it so badly, that would have been enough. He wasn’t the kind of guy who was going to just settle. He wanted to be special."’
