Fred Biletnikoff - Fred Biletnikoff’s historic career set a precedent for future players. It began at Florida State University where he earned consensus All-American honors in his senior year (1964). His incredible skills and excellent hands led him to become the #2 pick in the 1965 NFL Draft by The Oakland Raiders. In 1991 he was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame and today its top receiver earns the elite Biletnikoff Award in his honor.
During his 14- year career with the Oakland Raiders (1965-78), he caught 589 passes for 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns. Fred dominated the Raiders' record books for pass receiving and owned several NFL marks. He earned All-Pro honors in 1972 and won All-AFC acclaim in 1970, ’72 & ’73. Fred played in two AFL All-Star games and was elected to six Pro Bowls. He appeared in three AFL and five AFC championships and led his team to appearances in Super Bowl II and Super Bowl XI where he was named MVP. To top off his illustrious career, Fred was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1988 as its 144th member.
Following his playing career Fred coached wide receivers for 25 years, 18 of them with the Raiders from 1998 to 2007. In 2003 his career came full circle when they appeared in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Fred and his wife Angela launched the Biletnikoff Foundation (1999) to help young people in crisis realize their full potential. (Biletnikoff.org)
