Willie Buchanon - San Diego

Willie Buchanon

Voted the Most Valuable Player in the East-West Shrine Game of 1971, Willie Buchanon was a Green Bay first-round draft pick in ’72 and the ’71 NFC Rookie of the Year. In 1978, the Packers defensive back led the NFC with nine interceptions, including four in one September bout with San Diego that tied him for the still-standing NFL record for most interceptions in a game, first set by Sammy Baugh in 1943. Willie spent his last four pro years with the San Diego Chargers and tied the NFL all-time record for most recoveries in a game in ’81. Sporting News has named the San Diego State All-American to its all-time collegiate team.
