While Jake Plummer is from Idaho, had one hell of a career, and is a former Arizona Carnidal himself, he didn't have quite as much success as Larry Wilson. Hailing from Rigby, Idaho, Larry Wilson took his talents to the University of Utah where he was a two-way starter playing running back and safety from 1956-1960. Wilson declared himself to the 1960 NFL Draft where he was drafted 74th overall by the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh round of the draft.
As a safety, Wilson was one of the most ruthless players on the field throughout his thirteen seasons in the NFL (1960-1972). Wilson was able to snag 52 interceptions, force 14 fumbles, carry for 800 interception yards, and score five pick-six touchdowns. Wilson earned eight Pro Bowl roster slots, five All-Pro First Team selections, and one Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1966. If you wanted somethingto happen on defense for your team look no further than Larry Wilson.
