BILL SHOCKLEY
Place Kicker-Halfback
No. 29
West Chester
"Bill Shockley was the big man at small West Chester Teachers and shows promise of doing major things in the AFL. He was No. 4 in total points, scoring 86, and was first in points after touchdown, notching 47. A bruising halfback and forceful runner, he averaged 4.2 yards. Now 23, the Malverne (Pennsylvania) marvel also was among the most active at returning kickoffs, taking back 17 for 411 yards."
-1961 Pro Football Handbook
"This Little All-America star holds all his school's scoring records, including 15 touchdowns in a season, 42 points after touchdowns in a season, and 132 points in a season. Bill was an all-around star, sought also by big league baseball teams.
Despite his size, Bill does one of the heavy jobs in pro ball: kicking off, conversions and field goals. He was fourth among Titan ball carriers in ground gained and led the scorers with 86 points."
-1961 Fleer No. 213
CURLEY JOHNSON
Punter-Fullback
No. 20
Houston
"Big and fast, this former University of Houston operative can play either halfback or fullback. Johnson averaged five yards per carry during his three years at Houston and averaged more than 40 yards punting in 1956.
The 24-year-old native of Dallas spent all of the 1958 season and part of 1959 with the Baltimore Colts. His pro experience can only add to his value on the Dallas roster."
-1960 Fleer No. 123
Capable of being used as a halfback or fullback, Curley will be deployed by Coach Baugh primarily as a punter. In 14 games with the Dallas Texans last year, he caught 10 passes for an average of 17.4 yards per reception.
