NFL: Catching Up With Former Widener U. Star Billy “White Shoes” Johnson
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. (CBS) – One of the most electric kick returners in the history of the NFL has been seen again recently in the Delaware Valley, where he served as an instructor at Football University, a camp for elite scholastic athletes that was held in Downingtown.
The storied career of Billy “White Shoes” Johnson started here at Chichester High School, in Boothwyn, Pa. and then at Widener University. Eventually, Johnson was named punt returner on the NFL 75th Anniversary team.
Johnson, even at 5′ 9″, dominated as a running back who did it all at Widener (Division III). He performed at such a high level that he was selected as a member of the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
