A Salute to Ken Willard

Happy 82nd, Ken!

The #49ers rambling, rough-and-tumble fullback/running back of the 1960s and '70s

1965's second overall pick out of #UNC, Willard played nine seasons for the Niners, earning four Pro Bowl selections and two Second-Team All-Pro nods.

He retired in 1975 as the NFL's eighth all-time leading rusher.
