Tight End
No. 86
Southern
"Brister proved to be a capable backup tight end to Richard Caster and filled in for him twice during the year. He came in early at Buffalo when Caster injured a shoulder and went the rest of the way, catching one pass for 21 yards to keep a drive alive. Willie drew the starting assignment against Houston when Caster had a hamstring pull and pulled down four for 69. He strained his left knee against San Diego and sat out the final two games.
Willie did a good job of blocking in the line on short yardage situations. Drafted 15th in 1974, he has good quickness and runs the 40 in 4.9.
Willie majored in history and aims to be a coach. His biggest thrill was winning six straight games during his senior year at Southern. His hometown is Baton Rouge, Louisiana."
