Whatever happened to: William Andrews

What he did: When reviewing those that have played running back for the Atlanta Falcons in the last 50 years, none hit harder than William Andrews. That was evident in the swing pass he took from quarterback Steve Bartowski in a 1982 game at Denver, when he ran over a Broncos defensive back on the way to an 86-yard touchdown. Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, one of the greatest defensive backs ever to play, said the hardest hit he ever took was from Andrews.

Although the YouTube video of Andrews running over Steve Wilson is still popular 33 years after the fact, many forget Andrews played only six full seasons in the NFL.
