[edit] Biography

Billy Lothridge (William Lamar Lothridge) was born on January 1, 1942 in Cleveland, Georgia. After going to high school at Gainesville (GA), Lothridge attended Georgia Institure of Technology. Lothridge made his professional debut in the NFL in 1964 with the Dallas Cowboys. He played for the Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys over the course of his 9 year career.

Most people believe that 1968 was Billy Lothridge's best year, as he picked off 3 passes and had a 44.3 yard punt average.

Billy was a fine college quarterback who was the runner up for the Hieseman in 1963, but punted most of his pro career. Being a quarterback opposing teams always had to respect the threat of a fake punt. Billy was out of football after the 1971 season, but the undefeated 1972 Dolphins brought him out of retirement when their punter was hurt. Billy died at 54 of a Heart attack. Best college quarterback of his time in this writers opinion.
