Bill Anderson was born on July 13, 1936. He was Rookie of the Year in Washington in 1958 and a two-time Pro Bowler - then he retired after 1963 to coach at Tennessee. In 1965 he un-retired to sign with Vince Lombardi's Packers, and the gamble paid off completely: Green Bay won the 1965 and 1966 NFL Championships and Super Bowl I over Kansas City. The tight end who 'finished' his career walked away with a ring from the first Super Bowl ever played.
