Publisher's Summary:
There was never a player quite like Dudley before he came and there will surely never be another one. He was the most versatile player in football history, college and pro.
An NFL team today suits up eight men to play the positions Bill played by himself in a single season. He won the only Quadruple Crown in NFL history, leading the league in rushing, punt returns, interceptions, and lateral passes in 1946.
He also won the NFL MVP award in 1946 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though he played in the NFL at five-foot 10, 175 pounds. When he arrived for his first training camp with the Steelers in 1942, the stadium guards wouldn't let him through the gate. They didn't believe he was a football player.
After that training camp, he was Rookie of the Year and second in MVP voting, leading the league in rushing.
He was defensive player of the year in 1947.
He is the only player elected Most Valuable Player in college, the pros, and the military. He was a hall of fame inductee, college and pro.
There are 11 ways to score in a football game. Bill scored using 10 of them. He once crawled for a touchdown.
He also played on a Major League Baseball exhibition team while serving in the Pacific during World War II.
All this from an athlete who didn't make his high school football team until his junior year. He didn't play in a game until his senior year.
He was president of the NFL Alumni Association for 12 years during the struggle for pension parity for old-time players who were in the league before 1959.
He introduced the gold jacket into the NFL Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Believe in yourself and try darn hard!
Bill's story is an inspiring account of a man who believed in himself and had the guts and determination to achieve fantastic success athletically and professionally in college football, the NFL and beyond and most importantly as a devout family man and in service to our country as an exemplary citizen. The author takes us along a winding history of the last 90 years through the lens of Bill's life tying the WW II era of sacrifice to the expansion of the country and the NFL in particular. Billâs principles, quiet leadership, love of God, family and country and his rare constant level of effort and humility shine through in his biography and should serve as a reminder to us all what real leadership is all about.
After a great career he gave back to his beloved state of Virginia in many ways.
You will be inspired by this great sports story. The greatest two way player in the history of the NFL. With 10,000 all purpose yards to his credit he set a standard for excellence that, to me is missing today. Written with clarity and first hand experience. The author is married to the daughter of Bullet Bill. I saw him play as a young lad when he was with the Washington Redskins against the Chicago Bears. I donât remember who won but Bullet Bill ran back kick offs,passed,caught passes and ran the ball. Was the first all American at the university of Virginia. Is in the college hall of fame and the NFL hall of fame. Buy the book you wonât regret it.
