Autographs of Billy Kilmer
William Orland Kilmer Jr. (born September 5, 1939) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Redskins. He was also used as a running back,wide receiver, and punter. He played college football for the UCLA Bruins, then 18 seasons as a professional. In 1964, while playing running back for the 49ers, Kilmer played a supporting role in one of the most infamous incidents in gridiron history when Vikings defensive lineman Jim Marshall ran Kilmer's fumble back 66 yards into the wrong end zone. In January 1973, at the end of the 1972 NFL season, Kilmer was the losing quarterback in Super Bowl VII, when the Miami Dolphins completed the first and only perfect NFL season by defeating Kilmer's Washington Redskins 14-7.
Born in Topeka, Kansas, Kilmer was raised in southern California and played baseball, football, and basketball at Citrus Union High School in Azusa, scoring more than 1,900 points in the latter sport while earning All-American honors. His 1,901 points set a CIF Southern Section record for points scored, later broken by future Major League Baseball pitcher Bart Johnson. His baseball exploits saw him win all-conference accolades, while the poor fortunes of his football squad saw him relegated to third-team all-conference recognition.
After graduation from high school in 1957, Kilmer competed in football for one year at Citrus Junior College, scoring six touchdowns and throwing for 15 more. A broken foot limited his playing time for the Citrus basketball team. He transferred to UCLA in 1958 and played three seasons. Kilmer also played on the Bruins basketball team in 1959–60 under head coach John Wooden. He capped off his college career with an outstanding senior season in 1960: he threw for over 1,000 yards, ran for over 800, scored eight touchdowns and served as the team's punter. Kilmer was also awarded the 1960 W.J. Voit Memorial Trophy as the outstanding football player on the Pacific Coast and finished fifth in voting for the Heisman Trophy.
