The injury that ended his career was rather unfortunate.  He was so good!

Lawrence mccutcheon hit Robert James at rich stadium at an exhibition game I believe.

That's because nobody ever threw to the receiver Robert James was covering. 

Ever.

 

Billy Shaw reportedly lost over an inch in height based on blocking.

The only guy that owned Ernie Ladd.

There are still plenty of us here, reigning in the pups.

 

He played in our very 1st game in ‘60 and throughout our AFL days. But Sestak was the better player of those teams. 

Butch Byrd STILL holds the record for most interceptions. I’ve never seen another Conerback remotely look like him.

Shaw and Sestak were both great players.  But they were like apples and oranges; Shaw was a guard and Sestek was a defensive lineman.  Both retired much too early because of injuries.

Point taken. Sestak would swing a game with a couple incredible stand out plays. Cookie, Jackie & Golden Wheels got all the credit for Shaws’ great blocks.
