18 Bill CAHILL

1970-1972

Defensive Back

As an undersized and underrated defensive back, Bill Cahill was a fearless force in the Husky secondary, specializing in ferocious hits and spectacular returns. A three-year UW starter, he intercepted nine career passes, returning one 15 yards for a touchdown against Washington State, and was a dynamic punt returner, running one back 70 yards for a score against Illinois. In 1973 he was a 7th round pick of the New Orleans Saints. Cahill spent two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, mostly on special teams. On the day O.J. Simpson set the then-NFL rushing record with 2,003 yards in a season in a nationally televised game, the former UW player stole some of the spotlight by returning a punt 51 yards for a score against the New York Jets.
