1974 Rookie Profile: Willie Brister

Tight End
15th Round
Southern
"Drafted 15th, Brister is a very good in-line blocker but needs teaching, according to scouts. He's a fine physical specimen with good quickness (4.9) and knows how to get off the line. Willie was used mainly as a blocker by Southern and made honorable mention All-SWAC.
Willie majored in history and has three brothers, all involved in athletics either in college or in high school. His biggest thrill was winning six games in a row during his senior year. He enjoys bowling and listening to music for relaxation. His hometown is Baton Rouge, Louisiana."
