Larry WillinghamSafetyLarry Willingham was a consensus All-American at Auburn in 1970. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals of the NFL and was enjoying a fine career in the NFL when a neck injury forced him to sit out the 1973 season. Willingham was cleared for play in 1974 and he chose to sign with the hometown Birmingham Americans. He was the leader of the secondary on both ’74 and ’75, helping the development of younger players while playing standout football as well. His aggressive play as well as cover abilities made him one of the top safeties in the WFL.
