I'm watching NFL Network, and the news just flashed that Hall of Fame safety Larry Wilson passed away a couple days ago at the age of 82.  He was a 6-time All-NFL selection.  He went to the Pro Bowl 8 times.  He had 52 career interceptions for 800 return yards.  He will be missed.  What are your favorite memories of Larry Wilson?

Just makes me realize how old I am when Larry Wilson was 82.  I remember him playing in the late 60s and early 70s and he would knock your head off.  RIP Mr. Wilson.

He is one of those guys who if he played for a team like Green Bay or Baltimore during his era his star value would have been exponentially higher then it is now.

Wasn’t the clothesline tackle a signature move for him?
