1984 Topps football card of former Buffalo Bills’ defensive end Ben Williams, who played college ball at Mississippi, the first African American to play for the school. Williams was an unsung, hard-working member of the Bills’ defense during his career, although he was rewarded with a Pro Bowl berth in 1982. Nicknamed “Gentle Ben”, he retired in 1985 as the team’s all-time career sack leader with 45.5. Of course, the Bills drafted a guy that same year who would go on to shatter that record – Bruce Smith.
