Bill Bradley

'Super Bill': the two-time All-Pro safety and punter who spent most of his career with the Eagles.

William Calvin Bradley (born January 24, 1947) is an American former football player and coach. He played professionally as a safety, punter and return specialist in the National Football League (NFL), earning All-Pro honors twice, and played with the Philadelphia Eagles for most of his career. A native of Palestine, Texas, where he quarterbacked the high school to the 1964 Texas 3A state championship, Bradley became the starting quarterback and punter at the University of Texas in 1966; as a defensive back he set the Texas and Southwest Conference records for most interceptions in a game when he picked off Texas A&M four times. The Eagles never made the playoffs during his tenure. As an assistant coach he won two Grey Cups in the Canadian Football League, and he is a member of the Texas High School, University of Texas, Philadelphia Eagles and Texas Sports Halls of Fame.
